For two decades, Milo Peters successfully scales a
twenty-billion-dollar corporate ladder, largely ignoring the
unseemly compromises and steady erosion of principles that his
climb to the top entails. He can't allow himself to think about
such things; it hurts too much. Everything changes with a promotion
to corporate headquarters back in Chicago, home to countless
painful memories: of his father and old world values ... of a young
woman and a relationship squandered ... of all the things Milo
Peters had meant to be. What better setting for a midlife nuclear
meltdown? Nursing another hangover, Milo heads to Ashton's, the
diner where he and his friends had gathered every week during
college. There, he runs into Luke Papadakis, his closest childhood
friend. Amid the multiplying uncertainties in his life, a dose of
Luke is exactly what Milo needs. However, this meeting is no chance
reunion. Luke works for the government and is part of a secret
investigation into financial improprieties inside Milo's
corporation. He wants Milo to become an informant-a
whistleblower-and sacrifice everything he has spent his life
working toward. Milo faces the most difficult decision of his life,
and the ramifications of his decision will prove to be more
devastating than he could ever anticipate.
