Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful business career, enough money, and a reputation for being a just and principled man. But public virtues can conceal private failings, and as Henry faces retirement, his well-ordered life begins to unravel.
On the eve of the new millennium he is the victim of a random act of violence which soon escalates into a prolonged persecution, with unforeseen consequences. Family secrets are revealed, and when his ex-wife Nessa summons Henry to Palm Beach, he realises that there is little time to redress the mistakes of the past.
