After the death of her journalist sister, a lawyer dealing with PTSD nightmares and an alcohol addiction finds that she was looking into some cold cases and begins to suspect that her sister was killed to hide a dark secret connecting the murders.
An insurance investigator plagued by nightmares looks into the death of her sister and uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy that involves the systematic targeting and murder of various women.
After her journalist sister dies, a lawyer is unconvinced that it was a suicide. Soon after, the victim’s girlfriend is killed, too, so the lawyer reluctantly teams up with a doctor specializing in psychology and hypnotherapy to look into the sister’s work on a series of possible cold murder cases.
