Musician and amateur investigator Rick McCann is hired to locate a missing person, Nicky Walker, last seen in Nashville trying to make it as a singer on the club circuit. After an exhaustive search he’s told where to find her, but his path is cluttered with greed, deception and promiscuity. The drama thickens when he realizes this case may be linked to an earlier murder. His relentless dedication to find her, protect her, and then love her comes to a climax when he’s faced with a shocking twist he never saw coming. Feeling victimized, he demands revenge, and he will stop at nothing to restore his self-confidence and his ability to love again.
