When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home unexpectedly one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody
footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying
sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing
over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes
Abigail's life forever. When the local police make a misjudgement which
not only threatens the investigation but places a young girl's life in danger, the case is handed over to Special Agent Will Trent of the
Criminal Apprehension Team – teamed with detective Faith Mitchell, a woman who resents him from their first meeting. But in the relentless
heat of a Georgia summer, Will and Faith realise that they must work
together to find the brutal killer who has targeted one of Atlanta's
wealthiest, most privileged communities – before it's too late.
