What connects the victims, and why is the killer leaving tantalizing clues with each body? As Billy and Patti race to stop the next killing, their investigation takes a shocking turn when their father, Chief of Detectives Dan Harney (Beau Bridges), is kidnapped. In their frantic search to save him, they uncover disturbing secrets from his past that defy belief. Could their own father be hiding a dark and dangerous truth?
