Mike Ramsey and Gina Robson had a brief, intense love affair in their first year of law school. Then Gina left Mike for another man and Mike left law school for something different-he wasn't sure what.

Six years later, Gina is found murdered in the parking garage of a hotel, with Mike's name and address on a slip of paper in her coat pocket. Mike takes on the dangerous task of trying to discover what was going on in Gina's life. His search for answers leads him to a bizarre conspiracy financed by powerful men who seem to have lost touch with reality.

As Mike learns more about his old lover, he also learns something about love-that the people we have loved and lost never really leave us.
