Sometimes home is the last place you want to go...
When Alex Delaware first sees Lauren Teague she is a sullen teenager with all the usual problems; bad grades at school, moody, uncommunicative with her parents - which is why they think she needs to see a psychologist. But after only a few sessions, as Alex begins to gain her trust, Lauren abruptly
terminates her therapy.
Years later, Lauren's mother is pleading for help once again. Lauren has vanished - and she thinks Alex can find her. He reluctantly agrees to try, but as he starts to investigate Lauren's troubled past he is drawn into the shadowy worlds of fringe psychological experimentation and LA's seedy sex industry. Sensing that Lauren's dark family secrets may hold the key to her disappearance, Alex disregards the advice of his trusted friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, not to get involved. And as his quest for the truth becomes an obsession, he is prepared to risk his relationship with long-time lover Robin Castagna, and
even puts his own life at risk...
