Three years ago, iWoman.com reporter Abigail Wolff met Maria
Duncan just outside Baltimore. Maria gave
the journalist proof that her boss Chelsea Vogel, a strident antigay activist,
is a false prophetess. Abigail exposes
the thirty-something mom and American Society for Truth CEO. Not long after her public humiliation,
Chelsea commits suicide. Feeling guilt,
Abigail quits journalism.
Infamous for his drunken performance on TV at the funeral of his
war hero brother Zach; Gabe Armstrong, supported by their mother, wants the
truth be told as to what happened to his sibling in Afghanistan. A PTSD-induced hermit, Gabe leaves Abigail
with a note that outlines what he believes happened in Theater. She talks with her father, a retired general,
who Abigail senses surprisingly proves not very forthcoming. Not long after that paternal chat, Abigail investigates
only to find the military also close-mouthed.
Attracted to Gabe and an obsession to learn what occurred to Zach,
Abigail keeps digging.
The key to this profound thriller is the
military suspense mystery supersedes the seemingly required romance. The cast is fully developed with a deep bench
adding layers to a story that in some ways will remind the audience of the late
NFL player Pat Tillman.
