Nearly two years after the harrowing events of 1988, Leah Hudson has started a new decade with a new partner and is eager to put the past behind her. However, those plans come to a screeching halt when the coldhearted killer she put behind bars, joins forces with high-powered attorney Joel Weiss. With their sights set on a motion for appeal, Hudson faces the prospect of a high-stakes trial in front of a national audience.
The same case attracts the attention of a desperate Oregon mother, who reaches out to Hudson. With her new partner, Bobby, Hudson looks into the decade-old disappearance of a young boy, but quickly, the pair finds themselves with more questions than answers, many of which point right back at the troubled woman who brought them the case.
