Random abductions around the middle of the U.S. catch the attention of the FBI and local law enforcement in Minnesota. Chief Deputy Bill Haley calls in a colleague from the FBI, Alicia Kolovich, and together they follow the trail that soon leads to rape and murder. A serial killer is loose in Central Minnesota, and was leaving few clues. With the killer staying a few steps ahead of them, Kolovich and Haley try to determine the motive in order to find the killer. One kidnapped victim, after being released, refuses to give any details of her capture and detainment. The discovery of a "graveyard" with seemingly empty graves adds to the mystery. Kolovich and Haley race to find the killer before more victims are added to the list.
