Ex marine, Stormy Chilton is shocked to discover that not only was his former best friend Carmen and wife Janet killed in what looks like a drug deal gone bad, but also that it seems he has inherited custody of their 2 young children. And the shocks continue when he finds out a big secret that Janet’s sister Mila has been hiding for the past two years!
