A thriller that balances the conflict of good versus evil, right versus wrong, and sanity versus madness on a fine grey line.

Morgan Proffitt's cardiologist gives him life's two-minute warning. The diagnosis prompts an unusual reaction from the highly-principled Proffitt. In the hours he has left, Proffitt is dead set on killing the despicable person responsible for his daughter's death. Is it worth an eternity of damnation? Hell yes. Proffitt's motivation isn't fueled by revenge. He can't bring his daughter back. But he can save other sons and daughters from a similar fate, and you will root that Proffitt's heart has enough ticks left to accomplish his mission.
