Elderly multimillionaire Andrew Jakes is brutally murdered in his ransacked Hollywood home. His young wife is raped and beaten, and his art and jewels are stolen.

A. investigator Danny Maguire, Matt pursues this intriguing shadow in a tantalizing and frustrating game of cat and mouse. But when the so-called widow resurfaces again, it becomes clear that nothing is what it seems...
