Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont is handed a hush-hush special assignment: find out what really happened in the shooting death of an ex-con. The killing seems straightforward enough: an unlucky lowlife got caught in the crossfire when a drug deal went bad. But when Beau starts digging, the seemingly straightforward case becomes deeply complicated. It seems the ex-con really had turned over a new leaf and his murder was intentional. Someone had targeted the man for death.
While Beaus busy with his confidential assignment, his lover and fellow cop, Mel, is looking into some cold cases, hoping to close them once and for all. But suddenly, her investigation becomes entangled with Beaus, and the two begin to uncover a nightmarish conspiracy that could involve people in high placesincluding their own top brass.
