When the parents of deathly ill five-year-old Woody Swope vanish with their child, psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware and his friend, homicide detective Milo Sturgis, begin an investigation into their disappearance.

Their search leads them into an amoral underworld, where drugs, dreams, and sex are all for sale and where fantasies are fulfilled. The situation just gets more and more complicated and may even cost a young boy his life.
