Summary: An undercover mission to find a missing senator sends Anakin and Obi-Wan to a forgotten, rain-slicked planet at the edge of the galaxy. The investigation quickly becomes a dead end, a labyrinth of corrupt cops and cold trails that leaves them completely isolated with only each other to rely on.

Stripped of their Jedi identities and the watchful eyes of the Council, the forced intimacy of their mission begins to wear away at the long-held walls between them. As the case goes nowhere, they're forced to confront the truth: the greatest mystery isn't what happened to the senator, but what has been simmering between them for years.
