A city that never sleeps needs a detective with insomnia...

When a nineteen-year-old girl disappears, and the cops won't help, her mother turns to disgraced ex-cop Clarke Lantham. Lantham hates family squabbles, teenagers, and clients who lie. But when the bill collectors scream even louder than your insomnia, you do what you have to.

Goaded on by a drug-dealing boyfriend's story and a mother's suspicions behavior, Lantham finds himself trapped a world of mercenaries and murder in San Francisco's underground kink scene, all for the sake of a young woman whose diaries tell a story too incredible to believe...
