His investigation takes him to a sex doll factory, a sprawling landfill in Louisiana and a secret cabin in the woods. As they hunt the killer together, FBI agent Reese Thistle starts to warm to Blake--but she also gets closer and closer to discovering his terrible secret. Can Blake uncover the killer without being exposed himself?
