PI Tess Grey and her partner Nicolas 'Po' Villere have been hired by Margaret Norris to find her granddaughter, Jasmine Reed, who has been missing for sixteen days.

Tess and Po aren't the only ones looking for Jazz. With shady local businessman Daryl Bruin and his henchman John Trojak also on her trail, as well as a mysterious - and violent - stranger, Tess prays, for Jasmine's sake, that she and Po find her first.
