In the middle of the city, a wealthy woman has just murdered her husband. A rookie detective is on the case, determined to find the truth, but behind a seemingly ordinary mystery, another deeper one lurks. As these two people circle each other, their journeys take them from the heights of the upper crust to the squalor of the streets in pursuit of justice, of vengeance, of the very truth itself. What could possibly drive such a woman to such an unspeakable act? Was it madness? Was it money? Or did she simply do it for kicks? How can she be so sure she’ll get away with it? Is it arrogance, or does she know something the detective doesn’t? As his hunt for answers leads him deep into seedy back alleys where thugs and whores run riot and a mysterious character named Price seems to reign supreme, he slowly unearths a truth that might rock the very foundation of his reality to its core, because it seems that in the underworld of this city, justice eventually finds everyone, even if the law doesn’t.
