Imagine the moral conscience of a selfish child in the frame of a plain-clothes cop. The city is his playground. The rest of us are his toys... he can find out whe we are, and where we live, and what will scare us most. And Johnny never had a toy that he didn't break. But now he's dead, isn't he? He started a chase, and he pushed it too far. Now they're fishing for his body at the foot of a dam, and Nick Frazier has been left behind. They were friends, once, a long time ago; but when they met again, it was as partners on the streets. Nick had hoped that he might save Jonny. But by Johnny's reckoning, Nick betrayed him. Now, as Nick moves deeper into Johnny's past in search for answers, people are starting to die in a sequence that will lead, with terrible certainty, to Nick Frazierand to those who are close to him. As they haul Johnny's empty car from out of the lake, the truth becomes clear. Nothing is as it seems. And now Jonny Mays is back, and he's baying at the moon.
