Nick Hendryx rides the night, comfortable and in control, searching for the man in the ragged sketch he carries folded in his wallet, the man who lost control of his car and slammed Annalisa Hendryx into a coma. Cam Gallagher fears the night and the memories it brings, the sounds and images of the anger and death that followed it in his home along the banks of California's Russian River. The lives of Gallagher and Hendryx have taken separate courses; their roads will cross and cross again, with increasing threat, in the nights they begin to share.
