Will Moreton is one of the lucky ones. He still has a house, thanks to the fact that he has been assigned State Employment. Mind numbing or not, he'll take whatever he's given and try to keep the roof over his and wife Molly's head. He doesn't want them to end up living in a Shelter like the one where he works. They don't need any more problems. The recession hit Grafton hard, and having a job and a home is a luxury that few enjoy. If only he was like Dan, with a good job and a steady income. He never has to worry about money.Dan Fox is Will's best friend, and works as a nurse in the local hospital. He needs cash desperately in order to pay for his mother's care.

He'll follow any order to make sure he can keep her where she is comfortable. Will is the only one that knows the childhood secret that afflicts Dan. Neither of them wants to think back to the terrible day that binds them together.But Dan has started to keep new secrets. Secrets that not even Will knows about. These secrets are kept locked away in the depths of the night behind the Victorian walls of the hospital in which Dan works. Dan thinks that he has covered his tracks. But one winter'sday, when Will panics because he can't find Molly, he looks to Dan for help. By doing so he makes a discovery that leads him into a terrifying conspiracy. The only problem, he has no idea who is the real enemy.
