Detective Margo and medical examiner Marcos are assigned to the case that shouldn't exist: a missing corpse with no leads, no motive, and no explanation the evidence will support. But the two investigators know something the rest of the department doesn't — and as the widow's new life unravels one careless slip at a time, it becomes clear the real investigation was never about finding a body at all.
A slow-burn thriller about the debts that outlive a grave, and the difference between justice and revenge when neither one is coming from a courtroom.
