Jarrett has been shot to death on a bike path in the prestigious Granger Park neighborhood in Glendale. The only eyewitness to this high-profile murder suffers from a rare psychotic disorder causing him to misidentify people, and the person he insists he saw running away from the crime scene is the object of his delusional paranoia.
