Linney even has one of her own: that her father, a former heavyweight boxing champ, has spent the past several years on a slow decline towards dementia. Now his dream of running a bar is hers, whether she wants it or not, along with the burden of keeping both it and their lives from falling apart.

When quiet, scarred newcomer Miles Coulter makes a regular of himself at Conroy’s, Linney can’t help but be compelled by someone with no town history — and seemingly with no history at all. But Miles carries baggage of his own: Eleven years in a coma, a family and a life that forgot him, and a world that moved on while he slept.

Miles hopes to put himself back together in a town where no one forgets anything, but when the ghosts of his past start haunting Linney, she realizes there are other, bigger secrets he’s running from.
