One of Sydney Rye's dearest friends, Hugh Defry, has been accused of brutally murdering his business partner. All the evidence points to Hugh and he has no memory of that night. But Sydney refuses to believe that Hugh is capable of such violence. Called to investigate by Robert Maxim, a man she has - until now - considered her greatest enemy, Sydney flies to Miami searching for the real killer. Her investigation leads her from the mansions of Star Island to the depths of the Everglades.

Rye's suspicions are raised when she learns that Robert Maxim not only wants to work together, but also wants to build a friendship. She doesn't begin to understand Maxim's motives until her former lover, Dan, arrives in Miami to tell her a devastating secret. As more people from her past turn up, and not knowing whom to trust, Sydney begins to recognize that her personal fight for justice has become much more than she'd ever imagined. Sydney is pushed towards making a decision that will change not just her life, but possibly the future of crime fighting.
