Tori’s brother Hank likes guns. He also likes: talk radio, survivalism, investigative deep-web forums, and telling Tori about all of it when they see each other once a year. But when Hank is killed in an apparently random event, Tori can’t help but wonder. Didn’t Hank say that there was no such thing as coincidence? Didn’t he say he knew too much? Was Hank’s death just a matter of chance, or was it part of a bigger agenda, and which possibility is worse?
