Private Investigator Regan Reilly moved from Los Angeles to
New York City when she married her husband, Jack "no
relation" Reilly, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad. To
help a friend she ends up taking on a case that calls her
back to her old stomping ground...
Cursed opens on a cold and gray January morning. Sleet and
snow are swirling as Regan arrives at a warehouse in Long
Island City with a trunk full of her old case files from
Los Angeles. After carting all her boxes into a storage
unit, she heads back out into the snow, and her cell phone
rings. Abigail Feeney, a young woman who had lived across the hall
from Regan in an apartment complex in the Hollywood Hills,
is on the line. Abigail believes her life has been cursed
since birth. She was born on Friday the 13th of January,
and her parents gave her a name with 13 letters. A
hairdresser on movie sets, Abigail was recently injured at
work when a piece of scaffolding fell and knocked her over,
and her arm was broken in two places. But that isn't why
she is calling. "Regan!" she exclaims. "The 'no good bum'
has been spotted in town. I desperately need the money he
owes me. Can you please come out here and help me find him?" Regan immediately knows the identity of the "no good bum."
From her L.A. apartment, Regan had often seen Abigail's ex,
Cody Castle, sitting by the pool, bent over his cell phone,
text messaging nonstop. Before he disappeared three months
ago, he borrowed $100,000 from Abigail. He promised to pay
her back in three months. "Find him?" Regan asks. "Yes! My grandmother is flying here tomorrow. There's a
condo she wants to buy me. But we need that money. She
can't find out I don't have it. Regan, can't you spend a
few days with me?" If Regan weren't freezing, she might have made an excuse.
But Jack was away at a seminar, Regan had never liked
the "no good bum," and Abigail had brought her chicken soup
when she'd had the flu last winter. Within hours Regan is
on a flight to Los Angeles where her adventure with Abigail
will take her from the beaches of Malibu, to the mountains
north of the city, to the renovated lofts of downtown L.A. Regan starts to feel Abigail's curse is contagious as she
encounters a cast of characters who aren't always
welcoming. Some are downright dangerous. And there's one
who is the most dangerous of all...
