The past is rarely so easily cleaned up...





Max Lee has seen all the ways criminals screw up. As the decade-long owner of an under-staffed crime scene cleaning company, she knows - theoretically - the best way to erase a murder.





Nate Wilder has had too many jobs to count in his life, and as Max's newest trainee, he displays an unusual attention to detail and a lack of squeamishness.





When Max needs Wilder's help to clean up the biggest mess from her childhood - one she's kept secret her whole life - he brings a surprising set of skills to the task. With a history like Wilder's, what's a little more dirty work?
