Something's not right in the town of Woodvale. Called home to farewell his dying aunt, Jason Hunter, former Ranger, doesn't even make it into town before something strange happens. A missing woman stumbles in front of his car on a lonely highway, before vanishing into the night as mysteriously as she came. Within hours, he's arrested for her murder. Carla Ramirez is the only lawyer in town who's not beholden to Jason's powerful uncle. She's known for a while things weren't right, but Jason's appearance brings things to a head. Light is being shone into some dark corners... and the roaches are scuttling for cover.
