Paul Crawford is a veteran reporter for the Chicago Sun Times. He is starting to get bored with covering the same stale stories. Life is about to get extremely interesting. Prominent people are disappearing without leaving any clues, bodies, crime scenes, or trails. Crawford knows they are connected somehow; he just needs to discover how. Leveraging all his personal contacts, he gets started on investigating the most recent disappearance. The cases multiply while the police detectives struggle to find evidence of people that may be missing or dead.
