She was the pretty one. She was the one who was taken.

Maxie Ford's sister, Ella, has vanished.

When the police refuse to investigate, Maxie decides to take the law into her own hands.

With the help of a drug dealer, "Mickey Finn" Donovan, Maxie dives into the seedy underworld of the city in search of Ella.

What she discovers is a trafficking ring that abducts college girls for wealthy and high-powered men, and a legal system that is so corrupt no one is willing to stop them.
