When a female medical student is found mutilated after returning from Guatemala, Detectives Logan and Barek think that the victim was was an unlucky drug "mule" who smuggled narcotics -- but evidence leads to a tony Park Avenue cosmetic surgeon, Christine, who might be running a fraudulent charity in Central America. While the doctor is celebrated for her donated work in facial reconstruction among the region's poor natives, both she and her nurse's aide, Antonio, are hiding dark secrets that require many masks.

The gunshot murder of a businessman perplexes Detectives Logan and Barek until they suspect that Danielle -- a self-involved mother -- has made a cottage industry of blackmailing other cheating family men with phony paternity claims. But the detectives discover that Danielle's seemingly meek and maternal sister Claire could be playing a far more sinister role in the scam.
