Fiction General Impostors And Imposture

Ben Bradford seemingly has it all. He is a partner at a Wall Street law firm. He has a nice big house in an upscale Connecticut neighborhood, a loving wife, two adorable children, and all the appropriate toys for affluent men. But scratch the surface and you will find a deeply unhappy man. Not only does he feel trapped in this life because he wanted to be a photographer, but his wife has been stepping out on him... with a man who lives across the street and just happens to be a photographer.

When a confrontation with the lover turns deadly, Ben puts together a quick but masterful plan to save himself from decades behind bars. But the price is very high. Ben must give up his home, his job, his children, his LIFE.

The plan succeeds and Ben heads west with a new life and ultimately a second chance at becoming what he's always wanted to be. But just when you think he has pulled it off, there is a hitch in Ben's plan. Even in places like small towns in Montana, it's only a matter of time before your past catches up with you.
