In downtown D.C., an emergency surgery is performed on a prominent psychiatrist following a multi-car accident.

As each layer of the investigation is pulled back, something sinister begins to emerge from the darkness. Brook and her team eventually find themselves on the brink of a terrifying discovery that will change the dynamics of the case. The dark and twisted truth will ultimately shake D.C.'s high society and shatter lives forever.
