Description
Peter Ash's return to civilian life was marked by an unsettling presence - 'white static', a buzzing claustrophobia stemming from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan. He had spent a year roaming the Pacific coast's mountains and forests, sleeping under the stars, but the demons of war lingered. When a friend from the Marines committed suicide, Ash felt compelled to help the man's widow and two young children. Upon repairing her dilapidated porch, Ash made two unexpected discoveries: a menacing dog guarding a suitcase, and the suitcase's contents - $400,000 in cash and four slabs of plastic explosive. As he delved deeper into his friend's final days, Ash would uncover that the demons of war are not easily left behind. A gripping tale of trauma, loyalty, and the unrelenting power of the past, The Drifter is a haunting exploration of the human condition.
