Overview

In An Ocean in the Desert ...Two private investigators specialize in finding missing children. If they find the child has been involved with a sexual predator, they indirectly offer the family an additional service that guarantees there will be no future problems with the predator. The investigations focus on locating the child and identifying the predator as well as law enforcement's investigations as to who is eliminating these vultures. The title relates to the last pimp/predator the investigators encounter whose street name is Ocean and uses the desert as a threat to keep his women in line.
