Seattle teacher and unlucky-in-love blogger Hayden McCall wakes up with a black eye, no memory of the night before, and the police at his door. His new crush, go-go dancer Camilo Rodriguez, is missing, and foul play is suspected.
Determined to help, Hayden teams up with Camilo’s fiercely loyal friends Hollister and Burley, and a feisty bull terrier. The trio learns Camilo is a “Dreamer” whose family has been torn apart, and they are convinced the cops will not take his disappearance seriously.
From a suspicious pet store owner to a suddenly wealthy ex-boyfriend, the trail leads to a dangerous scheme and an estate on a remote island.
