In the remains of the kitchen, a table set for two; next door, the remains of a single body.Alerted by hikers, Detective Cody Hoyt is called to the scene. While a brilliant cop, Cody is also an alcoholic struggling with two months of sobriety and it doesn't help that the body in the cabin is his AA sponsor Hank Winters. It looks like the suicide of a man who's fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that. He's convinced its foul play.But after years of bad behavior directly related to his drinking, Cody has few friends left in the department.
