A serial killer leaves a college coed to die in the California desert, his signature of fire seared into her flesh. A beautiful New York City Chinese-American Detective, recently transferred from Chinatown to the Upper West Side, is assigned a routine missing persons case.

A famous doctor returns home from a lecture to discover that his actress wife has been living a secret life. Now, the paths of the cop, the killer and the psychiatrist are about to converge.

For April Woo, New York police detective, the two cases seemed at first to have no connection.  College student Ellen Roane had neatly pack up her belongings in her dorm room for a holiday weekend and simply not returned.

Beautiful blonde actress Emma Chapman had received a series of threatening letters, and her husband, prominent psychiatrist Jason Frank, wanted them stopped.  But when the two cases intersect and the lives of both young women collide with that of a tormented killer who has an obsession with fire, April Woo faces the challenge of her career.
