Synopsis

Dr. Alex Delaware, a renowned child psychologist, finds his past violently resurfacing at a lavish Los Angeles party. He encounters Sharon Ransom, a former lover who inexplicably vanished from his life over a decade ago. Sharon, now a patient of a controversial sex therapist, cryptically hints at needing Alex's help, but his attempts to re-engage are met with evasiveness. The very next day, the news shatters his world: Sharon is found dead, her demise officially ruled a suicide. Plagued by guilt and a gnawing suspicion that there's more to her death, Alex embarks on a personal investigation. His quest to uncover the truth behind Sharon's final days leads him into the opulent, often depraved, world of California's elite, exposing a labyrinth of family secrets, disturbing psychological trauma, and a perilous journey through the darkest corners of human memory and desire. Alex must confront the ghosts of his own past while navigating a complex web of deceit to unmask a killer.
