If my grandfather's letter had stopped at the comma, I would have tossed it in the trash... only the last three words mattered. If you can.
That passed for please, in the old man's way of talking... If you can

Meet Van Shaw - soldier, ex-con - as he returns to his native Seattle after a decade's self-imposed exile. Answering voices from his past, he finds a whole heap of trouble, and himself the prime suspect in the brutal attack on his grandfather. Drawn back into the violent, high-stakes life he tried to leave behind, he has to try and see right from wrong amid the secrets and resentments of those he was once closest to.
