It is a hoarse whisper over a crackling cell phone - "Angel" - and
then the connection is lost. Angel is convinced that the voice
belongs to his beautiful and enigmatic neighbor, Angela - and that
she is terrified for her life. He paces the floor, waiting for the
phone to ring again, calls the police, searches her apartment, but
there is no trace of her anywhere, not for days. So begins a
haunted man's quest to uncover what happened to the woman he has
fallen in love with. Only now does he realize that he knows nearly
nothing about her. Angel has his secrets, too. He is the son of one
of Hollywood's most successful movie producers, but he has turned
away from that bright and power-ridden world. Instead, he leads a
cloistered existence, nursing an unfinished screenplay as Ridley
Scott's Blade Runner loops ceaselessly in his darkened apartment.
But now, for the first time in years, because of Angela's sudden
disappearance, Angel is propelled into action. Following the few
clues he has gathered about her, he trails Angela through the hard
glitter of Los Angeles days and nights. With every new piece of
knowledge arrives another question and an even more chilling
possibility: Did he merely imagine Angela? Is someone deliberately
leading him? Is the phantom he is pursuing the very fear he has
been running from? In the murky underworld beneath the bright
surface of Los Angeles, everything he knew about her - and himself
- begins to unravel. In this city of secrets that aren't meant to
be told and people who aren't meant to be found, Angel may soon
discover that the most dangerous lies of all are the ones you tell
yourself.
