Mike Marcus thinks life is great now that he's retired from the private investigation business. He has a new wife, his long-lost daughter returns, and he spends his days fishing in the Mississippi River. But when he and his wife Annie take a moonlight stroll along the riverbank, they find the body of a fourteen-year-old girl. The next day, another teen girl is slashed. Somebody is bathing in the blood of virgins. Mike's former flame, Lisa Werner, is charged with murder and he gives up the quiet life to clear her name. The only clues are a bloody article of clothing found in his client's basement and a red hair, and Lisa Werner's alibi seems to incriminate her even more. While Mike sorts through the evidence and the lies, the answer to the puzzle resides in his wife's mind. He doesn't take time to listen and Annie's feelings are hurt. Their lives take separate paths and both lead to Erzebet.
