Six months after nearly being killed and finding out her whole life was a lie, Abigail Moore travels to Maryland to meet her real family alongside Deputy Royce Hernandez. Eager to move forward in her life and to support her child, Abby gets a job, tries to reconnect with her family, avoids the lingering press, and makes new friends. But how long can this façade of normalcy last? When Royce is pulled away from her to track down the victims of her old fiancée, new friends and family make her question her relationships, and Dominic Greco himself haunts her dreams--how will she cope?
Soon after coming to Maryland, Royce Hernandez is dragged into a team that's investigating Dominic Greco's case. With the assistance of the serial killer himself, the team of officers travels around the U.S. to uncover the Polaroid Girls' bodies and bring closure to their families. While traveling, Royce faces guilt at the sight of the victims' families, anger at Dominic's cold exterior, and finds himself distancing himself even further from Abby. Once the trip draws to a close, and Royce thinks his involvement with Dominic is finally over, a new problem emerges and lives are on the line. Dominic Greco has an extra card to play--a thirteenth and alive victim.
Will Royce find her before it's too late? Will Abby be able to reconcile with her family and sort out the scattered puzzle of her life? Will Royce and Abby work together or will this be the final straw to their strained relationship?

In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club.
