Description
Alexandra Aguilar is a psychologist who lived with her grandmother, her only remaining relative, until her grandmother's recent passing. Now she is alone and mourning her grandmother's passing. She works with patients in her own practice and when she is able to she consults on murder cases for the local police department with her friend, Manny Castillo, Lead Homicide Detective. The two met in college and have remained close friends ever since. Manny is single in life but married to his job, dedicated and hard working. Manny's partner of six years, Deshawn Freeman, comes from a long lineage of service men. He is married and has two children. The three are in the middle of searching for a suspect in a recent string of violent housewife murders. Bobby Benson, Jr., born to an abusive drunk and submissive mother committed his first kill at the age of fifteen. He witnessed his mother brutally murdered at the hands of his drunken father and was rejected by the only person he ever loved, pushing him over the edge of an already teetering crazed mind. Now he has fixed his sights on Alex, and he wants her all for himself. He stalks her and kidnaps her, leaving Manny and Deshawn in a race against the clock to find them before Alex becomes another body in their rising body count.
