The past has not ended.
The picturesque community of Bakersville, Oregon, has been rocked by a terrible deed, and its once-peaceful citizens are calling for swift justice. Even though a youngster has admitted to the horrifying act, there may be more evidence to support his innocence.
In the heart of the dispute is Officer Rainie Conner, who is in charge of her first murder inquiry. It's too personal; it's reminding her of her worst fears and raising the possibility of her hidden transgressions. But she won't allow anything to stop her from locating the true murderer since the boy's life is on the line.
Rainie gets closer than she may have imagined to a fatal reality with the assistance of FBI profiler Pierce Quincy. Because a guy is watching her from the shadows, considering what to do next. He's aware of her secrets. He murders for fun. He has already brought death to Bakersville and destroyed the town beyond repair. However, Rainie is the actual reason he came, and he won't go until he has destroyed her.
