Anonymous text messages, a serial bomber, and a murky past.

Jeff McCoy had worked incredibly hard to leave behind his old life. These days, he worked hard at his construction job and kept his head down. To the unassuming eye, there wasn’t much more to him.

When Jeff suddenly starts receiving anonymous text messages with outrageous requests and threats to set off bombs around the city, he finds himself back in the throes of his murky past.

With the clock ticking, Jeff must prevent the attacks and unmask the mysterious messenger who seems to know him so well.

Why are they targeting Jeff? What is their motive?

One thing is certain: the life that Jeff has been running from has finally caught up with him.

Can Jeff unmask the bomber and save his city? Will he finally put his past to rest? Or will there be more blood on his hands?
