Billy Harney was destined for police work. The Chicago detective follows protocol, unlike his partner Kate Fenton, who thrives on danger and chaos. Assistant state's attorney Amy Lentini suspects Billy hides something beneath his clean reputation. When three bodies turn up in a luxury bedroom, the investigation leads to an upscale brothel serving Chicago's most influential figures. The crime scene holds plenty of evidence, but one crucial item has vanished: the madam's record book containing client names. As word spreads through the city's power circles, everyone scrambles to locate the missing ledger. Billy finds himself caught between his duty as a cop and forces that could tear apart his family. With Chicago's elite desperate to protect their secrets, no one can be trusted. The search for the black book becomes a race where corruption runs deep and the stakes keep climbing.
