Atlanta, Georgia. Present day.
A young woman falls victim to a brutal attack, her life hanging by a thread. The police desperately search for answers, but the trail runs cold. Until investigator Will Trent from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation receives an unexpected assignment that takes him to the state penitentiary, where a prisoner claims to recognize the attacker’s modus operandi. It’s eerily reminiscent of a crime he was wrongfully accused of eight years ago. With unshakable conviction, the prisoner insists on his innocence, offering what he believes is irrefutable proof. The real killer is still out there, and justice demands to be served.
As Will delves into the details of both cases, a chilling realization takes hold — to uncover the truth, he must first solve the original crime. But nearly a decade has passed, allowing memories to fade, witnesses to disappear, and evidence to be lost. To complicate matters further, he needs the expertise of Sara Linton, a skilled medical examiner, to aid in his relentless pursuit of a ruthless murderer. When the past and present collide, Will’s entire world hangs in the balance.
