After building a career in private investigation and police consultation work, Jack’s stream of clients, and subsequently income, has slowed down. Kevin, an officer with the Lakewood Police Department, throws Jack a case that the LPD has been working on for the past two months. The day after Jack and his brother Pete accept the case, their client is found murdered at the original crime scene. With possible ties to the Mafia and Denver’s underbelly, the murder reopens two past suspicious death cases and a cold investigation into a kidnapping. After discovering Amy, the victim’s granddaughter and teen runaway, Jack has the key to unlock a string of unsolved cases. Can Jack bring a thief and murderer to justice and salvage his career? Or will his own former ties to the mafia silence him forever?
