Talented but unstable photographer Day Randall has been living rent-free in Kelly Durrell's Colorado condo for eight months. Day needs someone to keep an eye on her. Kelly needs someone to draw her out of her stable but unspectacular life. The arrangement works for both of them.

Then Kelly comes home one day to find Day gone. There's no note, no phone call. Day's car is parked out front, but her room is empty and spotless.

No one seems to care. The police certainly aren't interested in a missing bipolar artist, but Kelly knows Day wouldn't just leave.

Alone, Kelly traces Day's last steps through shadowy back rooms of Boulder nightclubs and to a remote mountain estate, where the wealthy protect themselves behind electric fences and armed guards. Along the way, she confronts powerful people who will do anything to protect the secrets hidden in Day's enigmatic photographs.

If she trusts the wrong person, Kelly will be the next to disappear.
