Synopsis

In the idyllic Northern Ireland hamlet of Armahn, a mysterious drifter is shot to death—the first murder in over one hundred years in Armahn—just two doors down from the mysterious new resident at 73 Bellows Landing. A block away lives twenty-year-old Ronan McNeilly. After high school, Ronan had turned down offers to play for the Irish Olympic Rugby team and the Belfast Royals assumably to help support his widowed mother and fourteen-year-old sister, Rachel, with a routine job at the Whitehead Linen Factory. But the real reason he refused all offers was because of a dark secret that lay deep in the recesses of his soul. After Ronan is introduced to Gillian, the beautiful daughter of wealthy London Arms manufacturer Thomas Devonshire, they stumble in on the murder of Devonshire by his partner, American billionaire Alex Linley. On the run from Linley, the duo must discover clues that will help them piece together an elaborate scheme of Linley’s as well as how to navigate their blossoming romance. While evading the police and Alex Linley, Ronan not only discovers the clues that will exonerate him, but he looks deep into his soul and discovers God in a way he never imagined and a love he never expected.
