Candace Starr has fallen on hard times since she helped her friend, Detective Malone, with a murder case last year.

Candace and Janet's mercurial mother has gone missing while visiting her estranged family of Detroit mobsters, and Candace needs to track her down to take the kid off her hands. But the vicious Scarpello clan is hiding far more than her mother's whereabouts.
