The story is set in East Harlem, NYC, circa 1960. It follows a Jesuit priest, Fr. Phil Russo, who has been exiled to his childhood neighborhood from a university setting because of differences with his superiors. Fr. Russo is also a trained clinical psychologist recruited by the New York Archdiocese to work discretely with priests accused of illicit sexual encounters with minors. His character is one of complex polarities, driven by intra-personal struggle, base impulses, and religious doubts. The plot, though fictional in its development, is woven with character types and locations from the author's experiences growing up in East Harlem. The chain of events begins with an apparent suicide. Murder, abuse, revenge, and betrayal follow during the process of investigating this personal tragedy for Phil Russo and his adopted family. The story culminates in a surprising series of events that tie up loose ends and offer concrete resolution.

Driven by endless ambition, Jonathan Cartwright at age forty is bitterly frustrated by his failure to win a key promotion at the Dodds Corporation. He falls in with a syndicate of tough private investors planning a hostile buy-out of the company. As a reward for helping them succeed he is made the new president of the company. Seemingly, he has reached his goal of obtaining power and money. However, the cost has been enormous. He has sacrificed his ethics, his family, and good friend Jay Jaspers, on the altar of his ambition. What follows for him is a terrifying descent into a private hell. He is able to escape only when he finally fathoms the insanity of his dreams and the resulting bankruptcy of his own life. As he faces the world with a new vision, he finds a promise of redemption in the love of his mistress, the warm and beautiful Karen Kleinschmidt.
