Attorney Toni Barston has been assigned to prosecute a serial killer—one who has already confessed to the crimes and agreed to plead guilty in exchange for life without parole. But then a mistake at the city jail allows the killer to walk free, and soon the killing of prominent women in the community begins again.

After the brutal murder of someone closely involved in the case, Toni's supervisor assigns a new female investigator from their office to protect her.

Soon both women are struggling to remain professional as the search for the killer intensifies. Will the killer be caught before Toni becomes his next target?
