Instead of college exams and dorm parties, twenty-two year old Wade Evans spent the last four years at Dayton Correctional on a rape charge. Her name was Elisabeth and they dated for six months before her testimony clinched his conviction. Wade couldn’t honestly tell them it didn’t happen but would the jury have believed it was her idea? She was beautiful and experienced and taught him so much. Four years later, he still can’t figure out why she lied to the jury.

Now he’s out and working at Scene Cleaners where he cleans crime scenes after the police are through with them. Wade’s new life outside the prison walls is challenging. His partner, Scraper, who found his life’s calling in this work, seems to have nothing but disdain for him but the attractive redhead who handles the front desk keeps flirting with him. Does she know he’s considered a sex offender? Does she care?

In spite of the risk, Wade can’t keep himself from driving by Elisabeth’s palatial home, a definite violation of his Reentry Program. All he wants is one glance to see how the last four years have treated her – to see how her new lawyer husband is treating her. Then the unthinkable happens - the next murder scene he has to clean is at her house.
