So, when a body turns up with the hallmark signs of a manic serial killer from the past, Private Investigator Trent Jacobs is hired by a town local to find out if Ten Cent-the infamous killer-is back. But as this once-quiet town begins to unravel, tragedy strikes again, and Trent goes missing. Thankfully, newcomer Mark Hayes is eager to help out. Until-with every shocking secret that's uncovered, he begins to question whether he can find the killer before time runs out. After all...beneath small-town Friar Lake's dusty exterior, there are hidden truths of which even the locals are unaware.
