As he investigates his young patient's troubled past, Alex enters the shadowy worlds of fringe psychological experimentation and the sex industry, and then into mortal danger when lust and big money collide in Southern California. Alex disregards the advice of his trusted friend, LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, and jeopardizes his relationship with longtime lover Robin Castagna in order to pursue Lauren's murderer.
And the ultimate horror takes place when, soon after, Lauren's brutalized corpse is found dumped in an alley.
But years later, when Alex encounters Lauren as a stag party's featured entertainment, both doctor and patient are stricken with shame. Reluctantly, the psychologist chalks Lauren up as one of the inevitable failures of a challenging profession. But for all Alex's skill and effort, Lauren resists-angrily, provocatively. Lauren Teague is a beautiful, defiant, borderline-delinquent teenager when her parents bring her to Alex Delaware's office.
