After the death of his mother Rob McGruder is driven from his home at a young age by his abusive father. As a young man he spends two years in prison, and when he returns to Tulsa he is plagued by the criminals he worked with in the past to break the law again. His fear of going back to jail drives him to find a better life. But his quest for a new life leads him to commit a crime against an innocent young woman, Paige Lewis, and her family.
