In the depths of a hot summer of COVID and poverty, DC street denizen Dickie Cornish ekes out a meager living as an unlicensed PI, taking any assignment no matter how dirty, until he is kidnapped at gunpoint by an ex-con to take on a mission of mercy: find his daughter, missing for years, as well as the children of grim squatters in a flophouse motel. This act sets in motion a horrific chain wrapping Dickie into war within the police force, corruption in Child Services, and a secret that threatens to tear the Nation's Capitol apart--already reeling from divisive politics and domestic terrorist riots.
