Devatenáctiletá Rachel zmizela, jako by se propadla do podsvětí města Manchesteru. Její nevlastní otec si proto najme soukromého detektiva jménem David Cunane, jehož pověst není nejlepší. Rád pije, většinou je přitahován k těm špatným ženám a prakticky je přeborníkem v řešení ztracených případů – pohybuje se totiž přímo na rozhraní obou světů. Stopy Rachel ho vedou mezi kriminální živly, ale nekonec se dostává i přímo do centra policejní korupce. Je vtahován stále hlouběji do mohutné sítě podvodu, lsti a nebezpečí.
