what he believes to be two lovers entwined, not being able to pull himself from

thrown head first into a world of mystery and anonymity. He’s now a potential

finds himself seduced by the private investigator assigned to the case. They
are drawn to one another in secrecy. But as the affair deepens, so does Noah’s
