One city. One drug. No mercy.
The City
Los Angeles is not a city you understand at a glance. More than a hundred neighborhoods, more than a hundred languages, a web of freeways where twelve miles can take an hour. Between the mansions in the hills and the tent camps under the overpasses, sometimes there is only a few minutes of driving.
By day, this is the city of studios, beaches, and sunshine. At night, it belongs to other people.
The Story
A new drug is spreading through Los Angeles. Its victims remain fully conscious—trapped inside their own bodies.
Detectives Alex Smith and David Stone are drawn into a case that takes them deep into the city’s dark side. Their first leads expose a network far bigger than either of them imagined. Amid glamour, violence, and power, they close in on a truth that lies closer to home than they realize.
