In the Nevada desert outside Las Vegas, a once-beautiful showgirl's body is found horribly mutilated. Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe, a seasoned police veteran and Las Vegas native, has witnessed the city’s excesses before. The brutal scene, coupled with a similar murder soon after, echoes an unsolved case and alleged suicide from a quarter-century earlier. As Poe delves into these links, he confronts dark secrets from his own past that could endanger those he loves and push him toward a chilling revelation.
