A prominent lawyer is found face-down on the desk in his law office, and Detectives Clint Wolf and Amy Cooke respond to investigate. They begin following the evidence, and that evidence seems to suggest the man took his own life. However, something seems odd about the case, and it's not what they find at the scene that's puzzling, but what they don't find.

When a woman is mysteriously beaten and robbed in Central Chateau, the case is turned over to the state police. Clint doesn't know why that happened, but when a sworn statement blows up his entire case, things go from confusing to about as bad as they can get.

The outcome of the case, as well as Clint's future, will rest in the hands of the woman he loves, but does Susan Wolf have what it takes to turn things around? If she doesn't, the consequences could be fatal.
