Tensions surrounding the oil rig are high and the death has everyone on edge. When an accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent to take the case. Griffin soon realizes he'll need to confront some of the darkest days of his life if he-and those he cares about-are going to escape a downward spiral of murder that crosses continents. When FBI agent Declan Gray takes over the case, past and present collide. Griffin just wants the case to go away, but charming forensic anthropologist Finley Scott determines that the body is modern-a young social justice lawyer missing since spring-and all evidence points to the work of an expert sniper. The job is mostly quiet-until the day he captures two relic hunters uncovering skeletal remains near Little Round Top. Now Griffin is a park ranger at Gettysburg, having left life as a SWAT-team sniper when a case went bad. But then Luke vanished before graduation and their world-and friendships-crumbled. Declan Gray would head to the FBI and Parker Mitchell would go on to graduate school as a crime scene analyst. Griffin and Luke Gallagher would join the Baltimore PD. Not only does their long friendship seem to be turning into something more, but this dangerous case is becoming deadlier with each step.In college, Griffin McCray and his three best friends had their lives planned out.

Deputy Landon Grainger loves the McKennas like family, but he's also sworn to find the truth. A fellow snowboarder has been killed-but despite the evidence, Reef swears he's innocent.
