FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is assigned to assist the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office investigator with a murder that has the exact same characteristics of two prior ones.

His past experience with the Feds was problematic so Lucy not only has to work an extremely difficult case but dismantle the brick walls he wants to place between them. Meanw

Lucy’s partner from the local sheriff’s department does not trust the FBI or profilers and Lucy is determined find out why. There is also something going on at the boy’s home and Jesse is involved.
