Secrets. A town, isolated on the prairies, bursting at the seams with secrets and brewing hostility. Affairs, broken families and eight missing women over the span of ten years. When a woman digs herself from her own grave, local cops call in the best profiler for chasing down a female serial killer: Agent Alyssa Rawkesby. With her rookie partner still in tow, she and Thayer delve into the demented mind of a woman hell-bent on revenge by burying her victims alive while digging through small town secrets to decipher which will lead to the killer and which simply tear marriages and families apart. Alyssa continues to battle old demons as she and Thayer learn to work together. 

​

The town has never seen anything like this, but Alyssa has. Sex and jealousy are motives as old as time, but is that what these murders are truly about? What simmers beneath the surface of the picturesque illusion of bliss and traditional values? How is this killer hiding in plain sight among the same women she kills? How close to home is she, really?
