Jack Dana is a star history student at Yale with a bright career in academia ahead of him. But after 9/11 he feels it is his duty to change course. As a Marine infantry officer he is deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Severely wounded in combat, he begins writing a novel about his wartime experiences. Jack then moves to Manhattan to live with his uncle Harry. With Harry's help he quickly finds a publisher, and the book's swift success launches Jack as a professional writer. While on his way home from a vacation, he hears shocking news: his uncle Harry is dead, hanged in his Sag Harbour summer home, clearly a suicide. Horrified and incredulous, Jack digs into the facts surrounding his uncle's death. Aided by Harry's most trusted associate, Kerry Black, and by his college friend Scott Prentice, Jack discovers that Harry had pierced the secret of his most important client, Abner Brown.
