Reporter Alexandra Templeton sets up the reclusive Justice on a blind date that leads to a rare opportunity for legitimate work writing a documentary - until the producer is killed. Justice is smitten with gorgeous Peter Graff, who was close to the victim, and is drawn into the investigation. As he delves deeper into the murder, he uncovers connections to a 15-year-old incident of police brutality that was never prosecuted, but may have been caught on tape by a TV camera crew on a police ride-along. His investigation reaches the highest levels of the city's wealthy power structure and unpeels layer after layer of the city's dark history. Ignoring danger signals, Justice takes reckless chances that put him at mortal risk, and that change his life forever. The story reaches a shocking climax in the dungeon-like basement of a former LAPD cop, where pleasure is mixed with pain - and the fates of Justice and the beautiful innocent, Peter Graff, are in the hands ofa human monster.
