Serving a ten-year sentence in a Nevada prison for armed robbery, Ethan Lockhart hopes that he can one day become a productive, law-abiding member of society. But society has other plans for Ethan. When he's given a forty-eight-hour furlough to attend his sister Abby's funeral, he learns that her body was never found--just enough blood to declare her dead instead of missing--and he begins to suspect that there's more to her death than was reported. Ethan decides to use his forty-eight-hour window to find out what happened. But to get to the bottom of the mystery, he'll have to return to his unsavory past.
