Detective James Linden is approached by the FBI to investigate a missing person's case from 1958. He knows it'll be a difficult case to crack, but it interests him. Once he starts to peel back the covering on the case, he realizes, too late, he's opened Pandora's box. Which holds the misshapen, dented and demented secrets from Gochian's past.
To James Linden, Gochian represents beauty until he takes this case. The deeper he gets into this case, the more he sees the beauty was truly only surface deep. Past the surface, there's an ugliness that makes a permanent imprint on your soul. One he won't likely forget.
