Following the deaths of his wife and his father, juvenile court judge Jay Treadway could find little to sustain his life. Sailing into powerful storms in the Bahamas, he risked it all until his stepbrother, Tom, convinced him to return to work in New York. On his first day back, ten-year-old Samuel Littell appeared before him, reportedly as a member of a gang accused of murder. No one knew much about Sam other than he'd been in a serious accident and had amnesia, and as time passed, what little they thought they knew didn't seem to fit what they observed. Who was this boy? Jay and Sam embark on a journey of discovery to unlock Sam's mysterious identity while developing an unforeseen and unexpected involvement with each other.
