Six months later, he manages to find her – but she’s not in a good place, strung out on drugs in the middle of a local park. As he tries to take her home, he finds himself in a confrontation with her boyfriend, Aaron, who later winds up dead.

Now he’s the prime suspect in the death, and as he fights to clear his name, he hires the services of private investigator Elena Ravenscroft to get to the bottom of things.

However, the more they look into things, the more he discovers the dark secrets that surround him. As the pair fall further into the criminal underworld in a bid to find answers, Elena realises that Paige’s initial disappearance may be linked to another missing case she’s working on.
