In the cold expanse of Anchorage, Alaska, a state trooper named Jack Halcombe is at the end of his rope with a case of young women being abducted and found murdered. When he comes across evidence suggesting these are not isolated incidents but the work of a serial killer, Halcombe is determined to bring justice to the victims. His efforts are frustrated by the lack of collaboration from potential witnesses and the elusive nature of the killer, who blends into the local community and exploits its indifference to the missing girls, many of whom have troubled pasts or work in the sex industry.

Amidst the fear and silence, a critical breakthrough occurs when Cindy Paulson, a teenage prostitute, escapes from the clutches of the killer and reports her ordeal to the police. Halcombe sees Cindy's account as the key to unraveling the series of crimes and confirming his suspicions about the killer's identity. However, gaining Cindy's trust proves difficult as she has been marginalized by society and let down by the system. As Cindy grapples with her trauma and apprehension towards law enforcement, Halcombe must protect her from both the killer, who wishes to silence her, and the dangers of her own precarious lifestyle if he hopes to stop the murders and ensure justice prevails.
