Detective Ethan Dumas is a cold case detective, a partner, and a husband. He prides himself on closing cases, seeking justice, and finding peace for families after years or even decades of them having none. In 2018, when four young girls’ cold cases make their way to Ethan and his partner, Jason Verne, it should be no different; even if their captain, the mayor, and Fiona Griffin, an invested victim's mother who will stop at nothing to prove the police had it wrong in 1982, all insist otherwise. 

Unfortunately, cases reopened with money and politics hardly give Ethan and Verne the leverage they need. As the cases unravel and point toward the original suspect, Fiona Griffin remains persistent Ethan and the others have it all wrong about her daughter, again.

With pressure mounting from all sides, and a shift in his home life, Ethan must uncover the truth among an unpredictable suspect, lingering doubts in a case, and buried lies.
