Description
Facing the biggest crisis of his career, a gay private investigator is forced to re-evaluate everything that matters to him in order to survive.
When Dan Sharp, a sardonic private eye brought up in the school of hard knocks, is shot during a seemingly routine investigation, his life is forever altered. Facing a slow recovery, and questioning whether he still has the will to continue on with his work as a missing-persons investigator, he agrees in the interim to lend a critical eye to a case being headed up by his partner, Toronto police officer Nick Trposki. The case, involving wide-scale real estate development fraud, is compounded by corruption within the police force. It turns out to be much bigger than anyone imagined, however, and soon goes awry in ways no one expected, leading to the biggest crisis of Dan's life -- a crisis that will make him put his reputation on the line as he reconsiders all his personal and professional values.
