To protect himself, Alan must revisit the cruel ethical dilemma that turned his life upside down as a young psychologist. He has to make sense of distant tragedies while he decides if there is anyone he can really trust. Mostly, he must solve a deadly mystery in Eldorado Springs that has been brewing for more than a decade.
