An LAPD detective carries the weight of an unsolved case that follows her through every new investigation. The victim's face appears in her dreams. The evidence points nowhere. The file grows thicker with dead ends. Across the city, a Century City financial advisor discovers that his hunger for wealth has trapped him in a web he cannot escape. His clients trust him with their futures while he betrays them for profit. Meanwhile, a bridge becomes the final destination for those who have lost hope, their stories echoing in the steel and concrete. In a metropolis of ten million souls, the past refuses to stay buried. The detective must confront the case that defined her career. The advisor must face the consequences of his choices. And the bridge holds its secrets close. This anthology reveals how guilt, greed, and despair shape the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.
