Walter Johnson has a happy life with loving parents and siblings in a remote Tennessee valley. But in the summer of his fourteenth year the happy and loving part of his life is taken from him. His father is injured, hospitalized, and weeks later he returns but his father has changed. A dreary frightening existence begins for the Johnson's as their family slowly disintegrates. Walter has a serious confrontation with his father and is invited to live another family. Only a few miles separate him from his family and each time he sees them with new marks, cuts, and bruises on their face and bodies. He witnesses a most despicable event and plans to respond with an equally horrific act and he is successful.
Walter travels to Detroit to start a new life. He begins a job search but after weeks without an offer he begins asking for any work. In one office, a wealthy businessman, Jim O’Connor recognizes Walter's potential and offers him a job and a place to live. O’Connor is the consummate dealer and a worldwide business matchmaker and he has hired one the best men he has ever met and he’s only sixteen.
Twenty five years later a rich and beautiful Linda Bronson has secured the perfect life but attempts suicide after her husband leaves her for another woman. Walter finds Linda naked and bleeding in her bathtub. Months later Linda leaves Pinehurst with a new normal but not perfect life. She is intent on striking back at her ex and as she learns of his infidelities her hit list grows. She is equally intent on keeping Walter near her. Linda is Jim's daughter and she has known Walter since she was twelve. She has watched Walter become very successful under her father's tutelage but unknown to anyone he has is a quiet billionaire with global connections.
Drop Off is about the lives of the rich, the rising rich, the wannabe and the use to be rich and how particular segments of the community behave as they wheel and deal for more power, money, and sex and it all happens in the homes, business, and clubs in two of the most prestigious communities in America.
