For some of them, their biggest troubles have just arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter years of just scraping by, three restless souls have their lives upended: Nathan, a volunteer fireman who uncovers a secret stash of money in a burning building and takes it; Callie, a nurse whose tender patient may not have long to live, despite the girl’s fundamentalist parents’ ardent beliefs; and Andy, a recovering heroin addict who undertakes a nightmare mission to hunt down and stop a serial predator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore long, Nathan’s stolen riches threaten to destroy everyone around him as he tries to cover his haphazard trail of lies.
