It\'s here we\'re taken inside sting operations, fluorescent-tinged interrogation chambers, and rooms that have seen irreversible mistakes.

He may soon find the only way out is down below.
Swallowed by desire, Blum\'s single misstep sends him tunnelling down a rabbit hole of transgression.
As the investigation ticks on and dead bodies domino, Blum, unearths clues with damning implications for Celeste.

Blum\'s only source: Arthur\'s girl, Celeste--beautiful, seductive, and tragic--whom he can\'t get out of his head.
But Arthur has been missing for days.
As he roots around for evidence, he finds an old polaroid: the decedent, arm in arm with Arthur Holland, Blum\'s informant from years ago when he worked at the Narcotics branch.
