The body of a student who went missing from a Florida nightclub is found in a dumpster. A horrifying scene, but nothing compared to what she had to endure before her murder. She was drugged and tortured all broadcast live for the twisted pleasure of a snuff club.
THEY WAIT.
Detective Manny Alvarez works the homicide alongside young hotshot Assistant State Attorney Daria DeBianchi. The media spotlight shines on the accused, a privileged playboy seen leaving the club with the victim. But without cast-iron evidence, Daria and Manny must dig deeper to crack the case.
THEY TAKE WHAT THEY WANT.
The investigation exposes a terrifying connection between numerous unsolved murders and abductions stretching across the country. Their only lead is through notorious serial killer William Bantling, who knows the sinister societys secrets first-hand. But Bantling wont show his hand for free he wants off Death Row.
For Manny and Daria, the nightmare is just beginning. And the only thing more devastating than this cases past is what lies ahead
