He has been accepted into a prestigious law school. He is also destined to marry Afton, his childhood sweetheart, a beautiful, intelligent, aspiring medical doctor. Despite these blessings, Trevor experiences deep discontent. With the approaching responsibilities of adulthood, Trevor questions whether he is living his own life or one carefully laid out for him by his controlling parents.

Unknown to him, a brutal killer stalks the entire Dunne family intent on stealing the coins.
