Detective Raymond Townes is plagued with traumatic reminders from the grisly details uncovered during the Landry case. While his life and freedom are in limbo, he struggles to ward off another downward spiral and fight the deeply penetrating claws that his addictions have burrowed.
Dr. Gaston is equally disturbed by the haunting reminders from her final case. As she embarks on a new journey, she must first relinquish the burden left by her connection with the victims and families left in Steven Landry’s wake.
Still miles apart, with turbulent memories and a hardened history, Gaston and Townes try desperately to keep their relationship afloat, even when it’s undefined. Can they fight through their battles separately and remain reliable for one another? Or will the pressure and duress from their war finally prove insuperable for this pair?
