Dillon Cassidy is a man seeking solitude, haunted by his past and weighed down by scars both physical and emotional. Once a dedicated member of the DEA, he now finds himself retreating from the chaos of his former life, desperate for a quiet existence away from the turmoil that once consumed him. The bullet lodged in his back serves as a constant reminder of the dangers he faced, a symbol of the battles he fought and the life he is now trying to escape.
In his quest for peace, Dillon relocates to a remote area where he hopes isolation will afford him the healing he desperately needs. However, solitude can be a double-edged sword, and as he grapples with his demons, the shadows of his former life begin to encroach upon his retreat. Just as he thinks he can finally breathe again, revelations threaten to drag him back into a world he thought he had left behind.
As Dillon wrestles with his impulses for both connection and withdrawal, he discovers that true isolation is not merely physical. Emotional scars run deep, and confronting them amidst a newfound sense of community and trust could be the key to his redemption—or the very thing that pulls him under. The journey ahead demands that he decide between the walls he has built around himself and the possibility of rejoining a world he longed to escape.
