Buzz Birdy is your average Joe-perfectly unremarkable, the ideal cover for a thriving private investigation business. Next door is Tippy Newmark, the sun-kissed California surf Barbie, always drawn to the worst kinds of heartthrobs. Buzz has long harbored feelings for her, but he's content with their friendship... until Tippy vanishes.

Her disappearance goes unnoticed by everyone except Buzz. Driven by a gut feeling that something is terribly wrong, he faces an adversary that's always four steps ahead, stronger, and relentless in its pursuit to keep Tippy hidden.

Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Buzz's love and ingenuity break through the web of danger and deceit to rescue Tippy? Or will the shadows prove too formidable?
