NYPD detective Kat Donovan recognizes her former fiancé Jeff on a dating website eighteen years after their relationship ended. An attempt to reconnect draws her toward a scheme exploiting people looking for companionship, while unanswered questions about her father’s murder demand renewed attention. Kat’s professional instincts offer little protection from the hope that Jeff might still belong in her life or the possibility that her family has kept her from the truth.

Missing-persons detective Kat Donovan has spent eleven years without an explanation for her fiancé Josh’s disappearance. Seeing him on a dating app draws her into a search that overlaps with a teenager’s fears about his missing mother. Meanwhile, a chance to question the man convicted of killing Kat’s father puts her loyalty to her family and fellow officers under strain.
