A series of ghastly murders are rocking the small resort town of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Detective James Wolfe struggles to stop a brutal killer while battling small-town prejudice and intolerance. The murder victims in each instance are attorneys and other members of local law enforcement. When Wolfe's partner is violently killed, he gets teamed up with Detective Kelly Simpson, and the duo race from grisly murder scene to scene, desperate to uncover the identity of the killer or killers. Simultaneously, Wolfe does his best to balance his responsibilities as a divorced father of an impressionable twelve-year-old daughter with those of a homicide detective.
