Plot
editZoe Bentley, an FBI forensic psychologist, investigates the death of three women in Chicago. They were strangled, embalmed, and posed in a specific manner - as if they were alive. FBI takes on the case and calls Zoe for help doubting the local PD's profiler expertise.
Zoe's got a new partner, Special Agent Tatum Gray, who is not easy to work with. He is a smug maverick who doesn't respect rules. They have to find a way to work together to stop the serial killer's psyche before more women will die. But it's not the only killer in Zoe's mind: we learn more about her childhood drama with gruesome murders and their connection to the present.[3]
