FBI consultant Jake Cole gets called back to his childhood home of Montauk, NY, to deal with his father's deteriorating health. Cole's speciality is solving murders and chasing down killers, which makes him the closest and most qualified person to investigate when a gruesome double homicide is discovered just outside of town. He's got to find a killer, deal with his father's increasingly dangerous behaviour, and just to make sure nothing is too easy, the storm of the century is bearing down on the eastern seaboard, heading directly for Montauk.
