Description

Constance Loftus, a rich widow, has just buried her deceased husband and returns home to find her nine-year old son missing. Enter Thaddeus Black, a suave, street-smart Private Eye with a nose for trouble and eyes for hot women, who gets hired to find the rich widow's son. Nothing is ever what it seems, and before he knows it, Thaddeus Black is neck deep in family secrets and dark histories that just might overwhelm him in his search for the missing kid.
