Sara Linton had moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her past behind her.

But when a severely wounded young woman is brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a world of violence and terror.

When Special Agent Will Trent visits the scene of the incident, he stumbles on a torture chamber buried beneath the earth.

It's clear that this woman is not the only victim of a sick, sadistic killer.

Wrestling the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner Faith Mitchell soon find themselves at the centre of a grisly murder hunt.

Haunted by their own wounds and secrets, do Will and Faith have what it takes to stand between a madman and his next crime?
