Frether Warmak, a private investigator with thirty years of experience, is called to the scene of an apparent homicide: a dog-sitter has been found dead in her home, the front door wide open and every dog she was caring for gone without a trace. Accompanied by his young partner Lucas Mancini, he begins interviewing witnesses — none of whom turn out to be particularly reliable. With no solid leads, Frether reluctantly steps away from the case, until a chance encounter on the street puts him face to face with a crucial, unexpected clue.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
