Lee Gibson has problems. He's a traumatized and wounded war vet, he's an alcoholic, and being a private detective looked a lot better in the brochure. He hasn't had a real case in quite a while. Enter his saving grace, Maggie, who comes to him in desperation with a missing persons case. She wants him to locate a missing computer hacker but is tight-lipped about why he disappeared, where he's disappeared, or what he's running from. Lee's search will lead him to a family member who will get Lee personally involved in the case. She points the way to begin his hunt, which will take him from the urban decay of Orlando, Florida, to the steamy jungles of Central America. All the time, the "bad guys" are hunting too. They figure the best way to track down their prey is to latch onto people who are already looking for him.
