What appeared to be a simple missing person?s case turns into a serial murder investigation. When FBI SSA Bryan Mayland, Maddy?s former partner and lover is assigned to the case, tensions run high as Mayland forces Maddy?s hand into rejoining the Bureau. He not only puts her emotions at risk, but also the mental stability she has worked so hard to hang on to. Maddy?s role as an investigative reporter, a FBI profiler, and a crime scene expert move her to the forefront of the investigation and the personal target of the killer they seek.
