Madison Park New Jersey was once filled with automobile and pharmaceutical plants. Not any longer. Much of the town now struggles with unemployment and a heroine epidemic. Brett Bernauer has an anger problem. He works fixing people’s houses and their roofs. After hours, he focuses his attention on sexual predators. He grew up in Madison Park but moved out after a troubled childhood. When his mother dies, Brett and his sister Sarah are forced back to their hometown where they confront again the people that tormented them decades ago. Only now, those people make up the police department and head the local drug ring. After a series of run-ins with local cops and criminals, Brett concludes the only way to determine the future is to settle the past.
