Investigator Wayne Weston is found dead of an apparent suicide in his home in an upscale Cleveland Suburb, and his wife and six year old daughter are now missing. The police think the former Marine murdered them. Hoping to exonerate his son, Weston's father hires PIs Lincoln Perry and Joe Pritchard. Perry and Pritchard soon discover there is much more beneath the surface, including rumours of gambling debts, extortion, and ties to the Russian mob. But just when Perry and Pritchard believe they are making swift progress, a millionaire real-estate tycoon and the FBI advise them to back off of the investigation. Then without warning, another murder suddenly forces them to change direction in the case as they uncover a grail of deadly twists - but the most shocking secret of all has yet to be unravelled.
