“Things would go missing in this city and no one seemed to remember they’d ever existed, let alone care where they’d gone.”
It's September 1994 in a sprawling, decaying city where corruption runs deep and two broken people are about to pull on the same loose thread.
Faith Blair is drowning in the city's underbelly, trapped between a tumultuous relationship with a street- hardened gang member and the dangerous allure of an ex tied to the Russian mafia. But when her best friend vanishes after taking a shady film job, Faith stops running from her past. Her desperate search drags her straight into the crossfire of an escalating syndicate war-and a dark network exploiting the city's most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, Detective Leonard Mannion's career is systematically dismantled. He's investigating the brutal murder of a prominent family's daughter, and the higher-ups want it buried. Booted off the force and forced to team up with a disgraced private eye, Mannion follows a trail of missing homeless individuals that leads straight to the city's highest corridors of power.
As their paths collide in the shadows of abandoned mansions and neon-lit streets, Faith and Mannion uncover a conspiracy far more pervasive than they ever imagined.
In a city built on silence, looking for the truth is a death sentence.
