Once upon a time, Uri and Char Stoltzfus led seemingly charmed lives. Uri was a legendary Army sharpshooter, Char, his wife, a decorated Navy Public Affairs Officer. They had a happy marriage and two healthy daughters. Then came the day when a mysterious sniper gunned down Uri on the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Japan. Uri was killed, or so the word went out. Fast forward a quarter of a century. Uri still lives, although he, Char, and their daughters must deal with the terrible effects of that single misfired bullet. In addition, Uri and Char have recently retired. They are adjusting to the finicky rules and regulations of the senior community into which they have just moved, when characters from the past reenter their lives and force a reckoning long in the making in the lives of all four family members.
