Crime reporter Samantha Bell is in California for the biggest interview of her career when a missing persons case from eighteen years ago puts her directly on top of the story that could bring her national acclaim. When two sets of bones are found in the submerged vehicle of a local millionaire gone missing, Samantha is quick to learn the victim might be closer to her than what she thinks is possible. But when a kidnapping becomes a murder, secrets thought to have been buried in the past are quick to resurface and the small peaceful mountain town is once again haunted by a dangerous killer determined to get away with murder.
