Synopsis

. Tommy Spenser has a penchant for tough cases, good Scotch, opiate painkillers, and failed marriages. He's a narcotics investigator who is a functioning addict, and that isn't his only shard of hypocrisy. A champion boxer in his youth, Tommy carries the scars and beatings of his soul most visibly. He is highly revered and near-Machiavellian in his dealings as a police officer, but has a soft spot for protecting those who cannot fight for themselves. One night, while conducting a drug raid two doors down, Tommy is called to a domestic disturbance involving the introverted, yet extraordinarily gifted and lovely Claire.Clarissa 'Claire' Hewitt, formerly a musician with the Pittsburgh Symphony, is trying to escape the prison of her marriage with a volatile, abusive narcissist. Before he knows it, Tommy takes Claire into his world and his home as they begin to entwine themselves in each other's lives, tenderly sharing their stories as survivors, and slowly letting go of the years of abuse they both have endured.Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, two heroin kingpins have fallen in less than a week and free enterprise means quick money for anyone daring to take the toppled throne, no matter how many bodies stack up in the Metro morgue. Police Headquarters has become the new Fort Apache. When given a high visibility case and leadership in a newly formed task force by his eldest brother, Tommy is thrown into a maelstrom of betrayal and deceit, at the same time battling his own addictions and demons. After a visit to an oncologist and realizing he is in Stage II of Hodgkin's' Lymphoma, Tommy sets out to take back the reins of his life. What starts out as him seeking to save Claire ends up with Tommy realizing that he still has time to save himself, and right a lifelong of wrongs for those he loves most.
