Carter von Oehson announces his suicide on Instagram, then disappears from his college campus. Dr. Dylan Reinhart, Carter's Abnormal Psychology professor, joins the search when the student fails to surface after twenty-four hours. Carter's empty sailboat washes ashore, suggesting he followed through on his threat. But Carter's father Mathias von Oehson, who runs the world's largest hedge fund, believes his son staged his own death. Mathias possesses knowledge that could prove Carter's survival, but revealing what he knows would destroy him professionally and personally. Unable to involve the police, Mathias turns to Dylan for help. Dylan soon discovers he's navigating a world of multi-million-dollar secrets that span art galleries, casinos, and Manhattan's elite circles. Working alongside NYPD Detective Elizabeth Needham, Dylan must uncover the truth about Carter's disappearance while staying alive in a game where billionaires and thieves play by different rules.
