Description: Alex Rutledge, freelance and part-time crime site photographer, awakens to a knock at his Key West door. His estranged lover, Annie Minnette, has returned to her apartment to find her roommate murdered, and Rutledge heads over to photograph the crime scene. He is spooked by the victim's resemblance to Annie. Hours later, the Monroe County Sheriff asks Rutledge to photograph a second murder scene.

Alex recognizes the second victim, Julia Bulbuena, a Cuban immigrant with whom he'd spent a romantic week years ago. Within days a series of attacks, linked by evidence, forces Rutledge to believe that someone is killing his ex-girlfriends. Is it coincidence, a copycat, or pure craziness? Aided by charter captain Sam Wheeler, Alex begins his own inquiry and revisits his past.
