Competitive, cocky Mitchell Adams is a Ph.D. social worker in St. Louis who has it all—intelligence, good looks, a thriving private practice and a beautiful girlfriend—until his highly ordered world is suddenly turned inside out by her brutal murder. All evidence points to Mitch himself until he starts receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be her killer and one of his clients. The caller carries a past grudge and is hell bent on framing Mitch—and on killing one of his other clients if Mitch goes to the police. Faced with a spectrum of colorful, challenging clients as potential suspects, Mitch runs the killer's twisted gauntlet alone in a race against time to catch the killer before the police arrest him for the murder. His odyssey returns him to his days as a fledgling therapist and forces him to confront his own secrets. Ultimately, he must choose between learning the truth about the woman of his dreams and keeping a memory alive.
