At the dead end of a desolate, country road a late night meeting suddenly becomes an ambush. Gay private detective Russell Quant is faced with personal threats he can't ignore, a friend who may be a foe and a cagey client with a treacherous monkey on his back. As Quant trails a menacing blackmailer known only as Loverboy, he finds himself immersed in the midnight world of e-dating and parking lot romance. Lured to New York City, Quant tests his wit, wisdom and wiles from the old grandeur of Fifth Avenue to the kaleldoscope world of Broadway and electric night-spots. The fast pace continues when Quant returns to Saskatoon where he grapples with decoys, realising that no one is as they appear. Threat turns into deadly reality and the need to uncover the identity of Loverboy becomes increasingly desperate. Quant deftly manoeuvres through the twists and turns of a perilous case and personal life rife with its own mystique and mayhem.
