A grieving detective is tasked with solving the murder of a woman's ex husband, with their daughter as the prime suspect. As he goes deeper into the mystery, he discovers a connection between the case, and an accident that took the life of his former lover months ago.
A grieving detective commences a murder investigation seemingly unrelated to the one his pregnant girlfriend was conducting when she committed suicide. Soon enough, he realizes the cases might be connected, and finds himself unraveling the murky secrets of the victim’s troubled family which might be protecting an elusive serial killer.
When a man's body is found, the lead detective suspects his estranged daughter is the killer. Investigating further, he finds a connection between the current case and the one his ex-partner and lover died obsessively pursuing, sending him on a quest to solve both cases, and protect the innocent girl who is likely to take the fall.
