  'My name is Jason Harrow. I live on the Hill. It's an exclusive neighborhood in a small city about 800 miles west of New York. I won't say where exactly because I still get death threats from time to time.' Sustained by a deep religious faith, Jason Harrow has built a stable family and become a pillar of principle and patriotism in the mid-west. Then the phone rings, and his past is on the other end of the line. A woman with whom he once shared a life of violence and desire claims her daughter is missing - and Jason is the one man who can find her. Returning to New York City, Jason finds himself entangled in a murderous conspiracy only he can see and only he can stop, a plot that bizarrely links his private passions to the turmoil of a world at war. Hunted by terrorists and by the police, Harrow has only hours to unravel an ex-lover's lies and face the unbearable truth: in order to prevent a savage attack on his country, he's going to have to risk his decency, his sanity, and his life.
