When a local girl falls prey to a sadistic serial killer, Nashville
homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson and her lover, FBI profiler Dr. John
Baldwin, find themselves in a joint investigation pursuing a vicious
murderer. The Southern Strangler is slaughtering his way through the
Southeast, leaving a gruesome memento at each crime scene - the prior
victim's severed hand. Ambitious TV reporter Whitney Connolly is certain
the Southern Strangler is her ticket out of Nashville; she's got a scoop
that could break the case. She has no idea how close to this story she
really is - or what it will cost her. As the killer spirals out of
control, everyone involved must face a horrible truth - that the purest
evil is born of private lies.
