Flu is running rampant through the Sheriff's Department when two hikers discover a body wrapped in a tarp in a clearing in the woods. Further investigation unearths two more tarp-wrapped bodies. There is a serial killer in the area.

After managing to identify the newest of the victims, Sheriff Bree Taggert and Matt Flynn her investigator begin to try to find out who murdered her by trying to retrace her steps. All of the victims were small blondes between the ages of sixteen and twenty. Reporters and families with missing daughters are storming the sheriff's office asking for information.

When Bree and Matt go to interview the first victim's best friend, they learn that Jana has also gone missing leaving only a small blood trail in her apartment. Finding her before she too can be murdered becomes their first priority. Unfortunately, her body is dumped in such a way that it falls on Bree's official vehicle when she and Matt leave home one morning.

The killer is getting bolder and more careless. Then when a woman Bree managed to talk out of an abusive relationship is taken, the team has only hours to find a commonality between all the missing women and saving the latest victim's life.
