    Ranger John Quarrie is called to the scene of an apparent suicide by a fellow war veteran. Although the local police want the case shut down, John Q is convinced that events aren't quite so straightforward.

In a desperate race against time, John Q has to try and unravel the dark secrets at the heart of this family and get to the truth before the count is up
