Vera has her highest-stakes case yet, as she puts her private detective skills to use and tracks her missing girlfriend across southern California. She travels first to a film set in Santa Ynez and, ultimately, to a most unlikely destination where she has to decide how much she is willing to commit to save the woman she loves.
