Jack Morgan is a war hero. Returning home from Afghanistan after being wounded, Jack restarted his father's private investigation firm called 'Private'. Private's services are much sought-after and Jack has clients ranging from movie stars to politicians. On a rare night off accompanying a client to the Golden Globe awards, Jack receives a phone call from school friend Abbie Cushman. Abbie's wife has been murdered and he desperately needs Jack's help. The murder is brutal and with no apparent motive; fingers begin pointing towards Abbie. Jack is certain that Abbie didn't kill his wife, but he will have to work night and day to prove it.
