Wyatt Hunt is a self-employed P.I., working low-profile surveillance and insurance fraud cases. Following the death of his fiancée and a twelve-year stint with San Francisco's Child Protective Services, he isn't looking for any trouble. So when a federal judge is found murdered in his Pacific Heights home with his mistress, Wyatt figures it's someone else's case - until his friend and business associate, attorney Andrea Parisi, becomes the lead suspect in the murder. The case takes a wild turn after Andrea mysteriously disappears, and with the help of his confederation of friends, stringers, and associates - known as the Hunt Club - Wyatt does whatever he must to find Andrea and bring a murderer to justice.
