Michael Leighton had run from his past after he killed someone he cared for in an accidental shooting. When he learns he has only a few years left to live, he decides to return home, and to memories of the past he had tried to escape.

He dreads having to face Neil Morris, his former subordinate and the man whose fiancé Michael had killed. But even worse is having to face Robert Devine, ex-crime boss, and the brother of the woman he had killed.

Michael knows that he hasn't much life left to live, but he sure as hell doesn't want either of the men to kill him. However, when Neil meets him outside the airport with a gun, he knows that his remaining years have shrunk to just minutes.
