Plot

The Pyx 1973

When heroin-addicted call girl Elizabeth Lucy dies in a fall from a swanky penthouse terrace, homicide detective Henderson is assigned to the case.

Was it murder? or Suicide?

Through his investigation, Henderson uncovers a frightening underworld that is far more dark and dangerous than those of prostitution and the drug trade.

But more than anything, this is Elizabeth's story. Told through flashbacks and those who knew her, revelations unfold, revealing a life that ends with a struggle unlike any other.
