“Some secrets take us to the edge.”

As a seasoned homicide detective, Thomas Craven has seen the bleakest side of humanity.

Now, he is on a personal mission to uncover the disturbing secrets surrounding her murder, including corporate corruption, government collusion and Emma's own mysterious life.
