The person chasing Bruce is a face he once admired in a photograph, a man desperately seeking closure to his brother's murder. August has given up everything to find Bruce because he is sure that Bruce is the key to helping him find what he seeks. But can Bruce help August find the killer, or will the answer be buried forever at the bottom of Blood Pond?
