Jay Sampson is the best young detective in the Armor, Ohio Police Department. As a small-town detective, he is called upon to investigate all kinds of crime, from robbery to cyber theft from a local bank's computer system. Jay loved his job, his wife, Tiffany, and his four-year-old daughter, Olivia, yet his life was missing something. Was it because of his difficult childhood where his father had abandoned him and his mother had invited man after man into the house? Was it a spiritual vacuum that was left empty as he grew up wondering who he was? Jay's life takes a radical turn when his childhood mentor, John Alexander, is accused of molesting a child and mysterious FBI agents come to Armor to take charge of the case. Jay remembered John as a kind man who had encouraged him and emphasized that he was important to God and to him. It was primarily because of John's influence that Jay had become a success.

Jay's adventure challenges the reader to answer the question "What is right and what is wrong when striving for the good of all?
