Along the ever-changing border of gentrifying Los Angeles, seventeen-year-old Monique Darson is found dead at a condo construction site, hanging in the closet of an unfinished unit. Homicide detective Elouise "Lou" Norton's new partner, Colin Taggert, fresh from the comparatively bucolic Colorado Springs police department, assumes it's teenage suicide. Lou isn't buying it. For one thing, the site is owned by the man who may have murdered Lou's missing sister thirty years ago. After all this time, can he be brought to justice?
