Reacher is on a cross-country road trip. Along the way, he spots a sign to the town where his father was born — a place he’s never visited before — and decides to take a detour.
 
Meanwhile, a young Canadian couple is stranded at a lonely motel, trying to sell a treasure. What seems like bad luck soon turns into a lethal trap.
 
As Reacher digs into his family’s past, he uncovers secrets: he’s told no one named Reacher ever lived in that town.
 
The “present” danger and his “past” mystery begin to intertwine, leading to a high-stakes, tense confrontation.
