Most people think rock bottom looks dramatic. For Jake Hansen, it looks like stale coffee, unpaid tabs, and waking up on a bar stool wondering whether the headache came from the whiskey or the decisions that got him there.
Once an investigative reporter with a promising future, Jake now owns half a dive bar and chases missing people for a living. When a woman disappears, he is pulled into an investigation that leads through Los Angeles’s back rooms, casino money, old loyalties, and powerful people who grow increasingly uneasy as he keeps asking questions.
Working alongside retired NYPD detective Pete Mills and former ex-con Lamar Wagner, Jake uncovers a case that becomes far more than a search for one missing woman. It becomes something neither he nor the people hiding the truth can simply walk away from.
Jake lost his career, his marriage, and much of the life he once knew. But he never lost his instinct for knowing when someone is lying.
