Cole Charles Pecker made a grave error escaping the Reparative Retreat to try to save his good friend Natti. Crossing state lines means Cole is now in federal custody awaiting domestic terrorism and manslaughter charges. Caught in a system unequipped to deal with mental illness, Cole must find a way to survive while an overworked public defender and a disgraced former sheriff attempt to help him from the outside.

Even on suicide watch, Cole fears he is not safe from the shadows that surround him. Cole is not even sure that Jesus can help him here, but he calls out to his best friend and concocts a new reality that may just give him a fighting chance.
