Gwen GiGi Gelman, a ten-year veteran of the Providence, RI vice squad, finds herself unemployed after a routine bust turns into a bloodbath and she's made the scapegoat. Out of a job, GiGi calls in a few favours and scrapes together enough capital to start her own PI business, specializing in runaways and family problems. But then GiGi takes on the case of a fourteen-year-old runaway...who may or may not have been kidnapped. As GiGi investigates, she accidentally opens the door to her own mystical past. Now long-hidden family ties threaten her existence, and the secret of her identity unlocks a conspiracy that reveals the true puppet masters and vice lords that prey in the shadows.
