The death of a beautiful escort in a downtown hotel room appears to be a case of autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong. But when a woman brings her young daughter to the police department with a
strange story about a similar death six years before, HomicideDetective John Santana is drawn into a dangerous world of drugs, sex, and deceit, and toward a secret that lies buried in the past;
a secret that could not only destroy the lives of some well-connected and powerful men, but one that raises questions about the very meaning of life and death and the boundary between the
living and the dead.
