Hired by the missing man's panic-stricken family, seasoned Private Investigator Tony Brady discovers that taking the case is personal for him. His 8-year-old son disappeared long ago from the streets of San Francisco in a case the police could never solve, and his lifelong obsession is to spare others the crushing uncertainty that shattered the lives of his own family.

In unexpected plot twists woven through this suspenseful mystery, Playing God is the story of what happens when an ordinary man reaches his breaking point and walks away, revealing that the story of the disappeared belongs to those left behind.
