Plot summary
Paul Hale, nervous, meets Donald Strachey in a dark alley and gives the private investigator a retainer, then a van forces the two apart. The next night Hale is found dead, and the coroner and Detective Bailey rule the death a suicide. Hale's mother, Phyllis Hale, believes her son was murdered, and Strachey takes the case. His husband, Timmy Callahan, gives the firm a lead: Hale had served as the spokesman for the Phoenix Foundation, a group that runs ex-gay conversion therapy. Strachey goes undercover there as Kyle and introduces himself to the foundation's director, Dr. Trevor Cornell, telling a story about a former soldier discharged for being gay. Kenny Kwon becomes the new office manager at Strachey Investigations.
