"Carmello police detective, Lieutenant Tony Blaise, has his life turned upside down when he is called in to investigate the murder of a local socialite that has a dubious past and is the wife of a prominent business man in this central California city. The case leads to a seemingly unrelated string of deaths that are spread over three states and the search for a mysterious hired killer in a conspiracy that is fueled by greed. Not only does Tony have to deal with the death of his wife, his growing love for his beautiful roommate, and his disdain for the CSI phenomenon that has taken over television, but now he is thrown into an investigation that leaves him feeling he is living a cliche-filled cop movie and puts his roommate and him in the direct path of danger."
