About the series
A New York University student is shot dead in Central Park on the Fourth of July, 2003. Samantha Cicciaro is alone, there are no witnesses, and physical evidence is scarce. Her group of friends is playing at her favorite downtown club, but she leaves to meet someone, promising to come back. She never returns. As the investigation into the crime against Samantha unfolds, it becomes clear that she is the crucial link between a series of mysterious fires across the city, the downtown music scene, and a wealthy uptown real-estate family collapsing under the weight of numerous secrets.
