Lorraine Page once had it all as a police lieutenant. Now she lives on Skid Row, cast out from the force and forgotten by former colleagues. When a serial killer terrorizes the city, investigators desperately search for one witness who escaped alive. That witness is Lorraine herself, now running from her own life and the memories that haunt her. The investigation pulls her back into a world she tried to leave behind. She must confront the past that destroyed her career and the guilt that drives her to the streets. As the killer remains at large, Lorraine faces an impossible choice between staying hidden in her self-imposed exile or helping catch a murderer. Her survival depends on confronting the very demons that brought her so low.
