Synopsis

One by one men are dying, are they suicides or murders and who is next?

Essence makes her living dealing with death. A former Detroit Police Officer and now a PI, Essence has seen her share of corpses, but never have the victims been so close to home, because now the lifeless bodies on the streets are known not only to her, but to her illustrious and famous father, a well known businessman. The closer she gets to the case, the closer everything ties to her very own father. Joining Essence on her mission to solve these gruesome murders is Tony Jones, a police Detective who also finds himself falling fast for his beautiful and sassy PI. Love takes a back seat when the murders get close to home and even more chilling is the discovery that the current murders are linked to homicides from the past, her fathers past.
