When a seventeen-year-old model claims she was raped in the VIP room of a South Beach nightclub by three high-profile men, it's up to Sam Hagen, head of Major Crimes for Dade County, to decide if they should be put on trial. Hagen's ambition to become the next state attorney outweighs his reluctance to be drawn back into the moral twilight of South Beach, where his own teenage son died the year before.

Hagen's investigation of the case only exacerbates his wife's ongoing grief over their son's death, broadening the gulf between them and driving him into the arms of a woman from his past. When a key witness is found brutally murdered, Hagen is swept into a storm of suspicion that leads, in a shocking twist, back to his own shattered family.
