Mickey Gibson, a former Jersey City detective and divorced mother of two, now works for the global investigation firm ProEye, where she tracks down the assets of wealthy individuals who have attempted to evade their creditors. One day, she receives a call from her colleague Arlene Robinson, who asks her to visit the home of a notorious arms dealer who has defrauded some of ProEye's clients in the past. Mickey arrives at the mansion and discovers the body of a man hidden in a secret room.

It turns out that nothing is as it seems. The arms dealer did not exist, and no one at ProEye knew Arlene Robinson. Mickey had been deceived, and now the police are involved: the body is that of Harry Langhorne, who was in the witness protection program for having ties to the mafia.

Now a cat-and-mouse game begins between hardened ex-cop Mickey and a woman with sociopathic tendencies who has no name and a mysterious past. She intends to get what she wants, and anyone who gets in her way will die. In order for Mickey to stop her, she must first discover her true identity and what wounds she suffered in her personality many years ago, and the truth of why she chose Mickey to become her nemesis.

Some of the characters engage in criminal or degenerate behavior. The language is appropriate, with no indecent descriptions or pornography.
