But when he finds a dead body on the beach, he is sure that the murder is connected to his past. He is still not safe. Meanwhile, Trevor Graves is on the cusp of becoming a billionaire as the head of Decision Tree International, a corporation which has managed to get high-profile government defense contracts by nefarious means."-- ER -
