Detective Olaf Bauer thought he’d buried his demons. But when a woman is found murdered, with her ovaries removed, old wounds are ripped open.

Back from furlough, he's paired with a new partner: Julia Teichmann, a razor-sharp single mom with her own battles to fight.

As Olaf and Julia adjust to working together, another body drops. Same ritual. Same sick signature.

A serial killer is out there and he’s just getting started.

With the clock ticking, Olaf and Julia must confront their own troubled families while hunting a killer who could be anyone—even someone close to home.

Will they crack the case before the next strike?
