Gail approaches him with a request to help orchestrate her experimental piece called Swing Around the Sun. The second woman speaks to Ray briefly, then falls to her death moments afterward. Ray discovers that Gail harbors hidden motives behind her musical collaboration. He finds himself drawn into a dangerous web where melodies mix with murder and espionage operations unfold around him.
