The Boarder and Others

Two years ago, Ben & Liz Smith's only son, Pete, was killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. Shortly thereafter, the Smiths learn that Pete had befriended another young soldier at the base, who was with him when he died.

After Todd's arrival in Memphis, TN, horrific events begin taking place at the university's campus. With this grim backdrop to the fall semester, Ben slowly learns that Todd has some very unusual beliefs and pursuits. And he becomes even more concerned when his boarder takes a shine to Alex, his only daughter and Pete's sister. What is Todd's strange agenda? Ben, a retired FBI agent, is determined to find out.
