As Jay begins looking into Emilys disappearance, he finds that all who knew Emily swear that shes never used drugs. Shes a straight shooter and an intern at a newspaper investigating the Center and the horrendous secret hidden in itor beneath it.
When Jay learns of a missing hard drive, he is flung back to five years ago when his own junkie brother, Chris, found a hard drive belonging to Lombardi Construction. For years Jay assumed that the much-sought-after hard drive contained incriminating photos of Adam and Michaels father, which contributed to Chris death. But now he believes the hard drive harbored a secret far more sinister, which the missing Lupus sister may have unwittingly discovered.
The deeper Jay digs, the more poisoned the ground gets, and the two cases become one, yielding a toxic truth with local falloutand far-reaching ramifications.
