For private investigator Vance Devane, the past is never truly behind him. When one of his exes unexpectedly returns to Hilton Head Island and hires him to find her kidnapped sister, Vance can't say no—even if it stirs up old emotions and threatens his current relationship.

As Vance dives into the case, he uncovers a shadowy world of betrayal, greed, and danger, where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide. But the deeper he digs, the more tension brews at home. His girlfriend Hannah isn't thrilled about Vance's rekindled connection with his ex, and her jealousy becomes another complication in an already volatile investigation.

Caught between a life-threatening case and a love triangle that threatens to implode, Vance must navigate treacherous waters to solve the mystery before time runs out for the missing woman—and for his relationship with Hannah.

"Play Stupid Games" is a gripping blend of high-stakes investigation and personal drama, where old flames, dark secrets, and dangerous games collide. Will Vance solve the case without losing the woman he loves? Or will this investigation cost him more than he bargained for?
