Mia, a successful Latin American writer, is obsessed with finding Ian's killer, a famous English director with whom she had a long-term romantic relationship. Shortly before his brutal murder in Mexico, Ian had made a mysterious trip to Las Vegas; consequently, she decides to travel to Nevada with her current lover, Noah, to search for clues that will lead her to the killer and allow her to exact revenge. The first stop on their journey—fraught with passion, excess, codependency, and schizophrenia—will be Valle de Fuego, the Valley of Fire, a place where both will find the perfect setting for their self-destruction. As suspects turn up under every desert rock, Mia begins to distrust everyone she's known and spirals into a vortex of emotions that leads to paranoia, betrayal, and ultimately...murder.
