A chance encounter brings these two together, and Xander enlists Scarlet's help. Help him prove he is innocent in exchange for a clean slate. Scarlet agrees, only to find that the real murderer is closer to home than either of them expected. They traverse a deep web of lies, truths and twisted, dark pasts. The truths become lies, and the lies, truths, and a new mystery surfaces, one that is moons old... One of them needs to die, but who?
