Dr. Paul Allen has a wonderful, well-paid job, a loving wife and two daughters. But his stable, planned life collapses when a presidential candidate is killed during the election race, and the killer turns out to be Allen's son from his first marriage, Daniel. Paul cannot believe his son is guilty, but the moment of the assassination attempt was filmed, and the Secret Service has no doubts; Daniel is sentenced to death. Trying to save his son, Paul begins his own investigation. Delving deeper into the life of Daniel, a smart teenager who suddenly dropped out of school at the age of 19 and went to wander the country, his father finds himself in a dark world of secrets, homeless and eternal wanderers, government intelligence agencies and conspiracies. He begins to suspect that his son has become a pawn in someone else's game, that he has been framed and that someone is trying to hide the true culprits of the murder. But the search forces Paul to take a different look at his own life: the past is revealed to him in a new light, and harmless offenses turn into ominous omens. Paul has always considered himself a good father, but what if he himself is to blame for what happened?
