Art Garcia was all set to collect millions when a mudslide ruined everything. His sister Angela, safely dead, was found buried in the mud, not in her house as he planned. Now he finds himself a person of interest in her death, and the cops have discovered a secret only he and his sister shared.
Veteran Detective Ron Jackson and his ambitious partner, Mary Ann McDonald, are searching for Angela's killer. They can find no motive for anyone to want to kill her, until they discover that eight children, supposedly in Angela's care as an employee of Child Services, have vanished without a trace.
Each new piece of evidence leads them nowhere. Suspects die. A powerful politician, who may be to blame for the children's disappearance, questions the detective's competence, while keeping the missing children a secret. The police chief is up for reelection and needs the case solved before it blows up in his face. To save their careers, the detectives must find Art, the only one left alive who knows what happened to his sister and the missing children.
A small-time drug dealer, Art does not want to be found. His whole life has been a disappointment-one failure after another. But now he has his ticket to paradise-a winning lotto ticket, purchased by Angela, is his. There is just one problem: if he cashes it, the police will have a motive to blame him for his sister's murder. He was sure there was no way the cops could tie him to the missing children. But one mistake has proved costly, and the detectives are one step behind him as he frantically plots his escape.
