2019br. In un'afosa mattina di fine estate, il cadavere di una donna riemerge improvvisamente dal lago, sconvolgendo gli abitanti della tranquilla cittadina di Castel Gandolfo. Il caso viene assegnato a Lorenzo Festa, un sostituto commissario giovane e ambizioso, che dovrà confrontarsi con gli aspetti più torbidi e imprevedibili della follia umana. Il geniale mondo di un artista, l'ovattata realtà della televisione, il nebbioso ambiente della politica e il mistero di un'antica setta: sembra fare tutto parte dello stesso disegno, ma il commissario sa bene che in un caso simile nulla può essere dato per scontato. La sua indagine, infatti, si rivela ben presto una discesa, progressiva e implacabile, nel cuore dell'oscurità. Festa dovrà scandagliare gli antri più bui del vivere quotidiano, per scoprire quanto labile e a volte ingannevole possa essere il confine tra normalità e pazzia.

2022br. All'alba di un freddo e buio giorno d'inverno, la detective Kim Stone scende dalla moto e fa il suo ingresso nella stazione di polizia di Halesowen, pronta a incontrare la squadra che le hanno assegnato. Poco dopo viene ritrovato il cadavere di un giovane impalato e decapitato, e Kim e i suoi si precipitano sul posto. È l'inizio della prima indagine che li metterà subito a dura prova. Stacey Wood, entrata a far parte del gruppo come esperta informatica, scopre un'inquietante somiglianza con un omicidio recente e si convince che tra le due morti ci sia un legame. La chiave di tutto potrebbe essere una residenza per ragazze maltrattate. Mentre l'assassino minaccia di mietere altre vittime, i quattro colleghi dovranno imparare al più presto a collaborare. Se la giovane Stacey già si distingue per l'efficienza e il sergente Bryant per la sua affidabilità, l'ambizione di Dawson rischia di mandare all'aria il delicato equilibrio del team investigativo. Non sarà facile per Kim, nel suo nuovo ruolo di capo, tenere unita la squadra che è chiamata a risolvere il suo primo difficile caso.

I rapitori potrebbero davvero trasformarsi in assassini spietati. Bisogna agire con rapidità e trovare la pista giusta. E Kim ha intuito che nel passato delle due famiglie si nascondono degli oscuri segreti...
