Owen O'Shea

Sometimes parenting sucks, especially at the beginning.

There’s too little sleep and too much butt wiping.

Fortunately, new dad Owen O’Shea has a brilliant wife and great friends to help him out.

He also has a cozy wingback to sit in and a big window to look out from, two small comforts that make those 3 a.m. feedings a hell of a lot easier … at least at first.

It’s during one of those wee-hour feedings when Owen witnesses suspicious activity across the way that seems less idyllic-suburban-cul-de-sac and more daytime-drama-meets-high-intrigue-thriller.

His curiosity piqued, Owen decides to do what any calm, responsible parent would: dive recklessly into an investigation that is either wildly off-base or life-threateningly true.

Are his neighbors innocent suburbanites or murderous psychopaths?

Either way, he’s probably screwed.
