Su investigación se ve interrumpida por el descubrimiento de varios cadáveres calcinados en un chalet destruido por las llamas, cuyo examen pondrá a prueba la experiencia profesional de Tempe. El detective de homicidios Andrew Ryan, con quien mantiene una relación tempestuosa, se une a ella para escarecer las causas del mismo incendio.

Tempe se siente abrumada por el caso, confundida por la creciente atracción hacia Ryan y preocupada por el conflicto espiritual que vive su hermana.
