Chicago journalist Leo Townsend fears his career is faltering as fast as his sobriety. Subpoenaed to reveal a source to a grand jury, he’s facing jail time or losing the career he loves. Leo’s editor gives him one last chance by assigning the reporter a fluff piece on a homeschooling town, but Leo has no idea this assignment could be the deadline on his life.
Thrown behind bars by shadowy figures pulling the strings, Leo vows to expose the community’s villains and land a scoop. But now that he’s met the good people of Carpe Diem, he’s caught in a sobering crisis of conscience because resurrecting his future could mean the destruction of all they hold dear. Can Leo blow the lid off a minefield of corruption
and save the soul of the town?
