Someone is setting Detroit's homeless population on fire in the Cass Corridor. Private investigator Charlie Mack wouldn't normally take this case, but one of the burned victims was her mother's friend. The police refuse to acknowledge they have a serial killer. Drug trafficking complicates every lead. A corrupt officer works against the investigation. Charlie faces her toughest challenge yet when she goes undercover as a street person, living among the corridor's gangs and outcasts. She needs evidence the authorities can't dismiss. The case threatens to derail her personal life just as she and Mandy plan to move in together. Charlie must navigate the dangerous world of Detroit's most vulnerable residents to stop a killer who preys on those society has forgotten.
