Picking up where Painful Reminders left off, Cari reconnects with Gilles Rodriquez in LA. That sets off a chain of events that ultimately takes her to Switzerland, in an effort to find a missing painting. But things that seem straightforward are anything but, both in the investigation, and her personal life. The scenery may be beautiful, but the criminal elements are not. Sometimes she chooses to let go, and other times she's forced to.
