Neal Caterski is a clinically depressed, middle aged private detective. His wife has left him, taking their only child with her. It's been years since he's seen either of them. His career is a dead end. Despair has made him nearly suicidal. A new case appears. It involves Donna Winters, the wife of a very rich and powerful man. It was a past affair with Donna Winters that led to the death of his marriage. The affair, like his marriage, ended badly. With this new case, old wounds are reopened and fresh scars join the old. The case isn't even 24 hours old. Donna is found dead in her car from a single bullet to the head. There is evidence of suicide. But there is also evidence of a cover up. Caterski wants to solve this case even if it kills him.
