Widowed art lecturer Jane Chasen is not an impulsive woman. Why, then, does the formerly methodical workaholic quit her job, sell her house, and move from Detroit to Florida? Instead of pondering her atypical behavior, she takes a closer look at a neighbor's intriguing outdoor art installation. Days later, Detective Jesse Singer discovers the murdered artist in his studio. With Jane's help, Singer finds the victim's bloody shirt, inexplicably located within Jane's gated community.
