The victims, two males and two females, have their clothes switched. The men are wearing the women's clothes; the women are wearing the men's clothes. Before Hardrock can discover the identities of the victims and the bizarre reason for the switch in clothes, one of Hardrock's lead detectives, Harry Ralston, disappears A background file check on his colleague only raises more questions.

Drawn into a web of danger and deceit, Hardrock is convinced that the answers he needs to solve the case lie with his missing detective.
