Jules Landau is a private investigator in Chicago. He is approached by Eddie, an ex-con from New Jersey to find a missing woman. He heard that his girlfriend, Tanya, had moved to Chicago and was working in an upscale wine bar. Jules agrees to take the case since Eddie is offering a large pile of cash. While investigating, Jules gets dragged into a missing stolen wine case. He is tricked, lied to, and beat up. He feels the two cases are connected but does not know how. He gets unwanted help from Amy, a psychic.

The story is all over the place. Jules seems lost and unaware of the situation. Honestly, I did not feel anything towards these characters. They were not developed and felt flat. It was written in the first-person point of view.
