Suspended in a strangely modern day version of limbo, the young man at the center of this morally complex new novel must create a life for himself in the wake of incarceration. Known in his new identity only as the Kid, and on probation after doing time for a liaison with an underage girl, he is shackled to a GPS monitoring device and forbidden to live within 2,500 feet of anywhere children might gather. With nowhere else to go, the Kid takes up residence...

After serving 12 years in prison for child abuse, Walter (Kevin Bacon) moves into a small apartment, gets a job at a lumberyard, and mostly keeps to himself. He finds unexpected solace from Vicki (Kyra Sedgwick), a tough-talking woman who promises not to judge him for his history. But Walter cannot escape his past.

A thriller following a group of people -- including a virgin in his thirties who's found himself inadvertently sucked into the dark world of involuntary celibate forums, and his neighbors -- whose lives intersect when a young woman disappears.
