PlotFBI agents Karl Helter and Rebecca Lombardo are on a mission to take down a notorious sex-trafficking ring operating across Florida. While conducting an undercover operation at a truck stop known for illicit activities, they inadvertently cross paths with a brutal serial killer who has been abducting and murdering women in the area. As the agents track their original targets, Rebecca's instincts lead her to suspect a connection between the traffickers and the rising number of missing women. Meanwhile, Florida Department of Law Enforcement officer Byron Crawford has been tirelessly working the case of one of these missing girls. Despite facing bureaucratic barriers and scant evidence, Crawford's determination keeps him driven.
As Rebecca goes deeper undercover, she becomes entangled in the killer's web, testing her resolve and threatening to expose the operation. With tensions rising and resources stretched thin, Helter and Crawford must join forces, unraveling clues left in the wake of the killer's path of terror. Each revelation brings them closer to understanding a twisted game of cat and mouse. The agents' pursuit of justice leads to a deadly showdown in the dark corners of Florida’s landscape, where they face a heart-pounding race against time to save innocent lives and bring the killer to justice before he strikes again. The entwined investigations challenge their perceptions of trust, pushing them beyond their limits as they confront an evil lurking beneath the surface.
