He owns a successful construction company, has money to burn, and as a bachelor with a physique and face often compared to Chris Hemsworth, there is no shortage of attractive women in his life. As long as he doesn't think about his younger brother, Thadius, who committed suicide 13 years ago, Michael coasts along his enviable life. But things begin to change when unexpected visitors come to town and take over Thadius' apartment in the Tate's family Victorian home, untouched since his death. The family's daughter, 12-year old Lindsey, swears that Thadius' death was not of his own doing, and Michael suddenly finds himself confronting a past he wanted all but forgotten.
