In Los Angeles, private investigator Ned Cruz is hired by Anton "Anton" Porlock, an enigmatic and hulking Russian boxer, to find his missing girlfriend, Lexie Persimmon. As Cruz delves into the case, he discovers that Lexie is tied to a stash of diamonds that Porlock was planning to retrieve. His investigation takes him through the gritty underbelly of the city, involving shady characters and dangerous situations. Cruz’s pursuit leads him to examine numerous unconventional clues that keep the search shrouded in mystery and peril. Each connection forces him to question deeper into Lexie's whereabouts and why so many are intensely interested in finding her.

As Cruz’s journey intensifies, he becomes entangled with an odd trio of eccentric physicists working on a top-secret project called the "Big Bang." The project, which aims to recreate the conditions of the early universe, seems to hold strange ties to Lexie's disappearance and the diamonds. Amid threats from shadowy figures and persisting questions, Cruz finds himself piecing together a series of baffling events that blur the lines between reality and theoretical physics. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the case might impact the very fabric of existence. Compelled by the unfolding twists, Cruz continues his relentless search for truth.
