When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out.

In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

INT. - 9th PRECINCT INTERROGATION- MORNING


Gerri purposely cranked the air conditioning in the interrogation room about ten minutes ago. After divesting Abel of his jacket, leaving him in shirt sleeves that couldn't be doing much against the chill. She wanted him nice and uncomfortable. And ready to talk when she pushed him.


Jackson was already in the other room with Natalie, a truth that rankled. But, the young woman was her partner's collar, and Gerri had to admit he'd been pulling his weight about as much as she had lately. The two of them missed vital evidence, a fact she still struggled with. Okay, so everything about this case felt weird and moved way faster than most she'd had to deal with. Hell, it usually took weeks before she could uncover the truth. Not hours. She simply hadn't had time for due diligence. Still, it bothered her that maybe, if she'd dug deeper into the pair earlier, she could have saved Patrick's life.
