Dominion Bay, Ontario—a dying mining town surrounded by dense forests and rocky wilderness—is shocked to its core when a young woman's mutilated body is discovered in the woods. Detective Elias Hatcher, a grizzled investigator haunted by his failure to catch a killer years ago, is brought in to unravel the mystery.

Alina Varga, an ambitious journalist with a reputation for exposing the truth, arrives to cover the story, but she soon finds herself drawn into the investigation. As the body count rises, Elias and Alina uncover a chilling pattern: each murder is tied to Dominion Bay's tumultuous history, including its mining boom and a long-forgotten disaster that claimed dozens of lives.

Amidst growing tension in the community, the murders take a personal turn, forcing Elias to confront his own painful past. The killer is closer than anyone realizes, hidden among the very people Elias trusts. The final revelation will shake Dominion Bay to its core—and leave Elias and Alina questioning everyone, including themselves.
