During a record Manhattan heatwave, private eye Jack Paine is hired for a routine corporate embezzlement case. It turns deadly when his primary contact is assassinated by professionals in broad daylight. Drawn into a web of corrupt developers, crooked inspectors, and high-society crime, Paine works through the suffocating heat on a puzzle where everyone has an angle.
