A murder in a small Colorado town prompts an investigation unlike any other. The young detective, Colt Sullivan, is left with few clues and only one cryptic lead. Before he can solve the murder he must learn about a past he never knew existed. He must dodge a killer's crosshairs long enough to expose a conspiracy that brought him back from the dead or risk being buried for good.
