Жизнь бывшего сотрудника ФБР Роберта Пайна, тяжело пережившего смерть жены, только-только начала налаживаться. Уютный дом. Отличная рыбалка, занятия в аэроклубе, работа над книгой – что еще нужно немолодому человеку, чтобы почувствовать себя счастливым? Но однажды на пороге его дома оказывается странная пара – дама. Готовая платить большие деньги за услуги детектива, и ее телохранитель, не снимающий черных очков даже в сумерках.

На этом опасном пути бывшему психологу-криминалисту не раз придется задать себе вопрос, кто есть кто в этой игре, но цена правильного ответа – жизнь.
