In the midst of a fathers' rights movement during the 1970's, Gage Miller is living an ordinary life in her cabin by the lake, but when a close friend comes to her with a secret and then dies a mysterious death, Gage is drawn down a dark and twisted path that tests how far she is willing to go to find the truth. With the help of her mother Sara, who fancies herself an amateur sleuth, they discover a shocking adversary and a sophisticated underground society determined to advance fathers' rights in family courts across the nation, no matter the cost. But when Judges begin dying, the FBI reluctantly joins forces with the sleuthing duo on a journey of danger and intrigue, for there is nothing the Paternal Order won't do to stop them.
