Ex-detective Maddy Reynolds can’t escape her reputation and finds herself in the crosshairs of the FBI’s most notorious serial killer, Amos Whitfield. Why? Because like in the Old West, the fastest gun is the trophy. Whitfield comes to Berry Lake, and before he takes down the famous detective to carve another notch in his belt, he leaves a trail of death in her town, taking body parts from his victims for his collection. He taunts Maddy, making it clear he’ll be coming for her.

When Detective Maddy Reynolds escapes street violence by leaving her job to live in the Adirondacks, she builds a house on Berry Lake, across from The Glades. Avery Jordan, its founder, operates a sex trafficking operation out of the sprawling retreat. He and his minions are on a collision course with the renowned detective when they try to discover her true purpose for moving to the remote location.

It's been years since The Glades burned to the ground, and evidence of the horrendous sex trafficking ring seems to have vanished with the smoke. But then, a new congressional investigation reveals the existence of a document with the names of the predators. Believing Maddy knows where the document is, the predators dispatch hit men and mobster thugs, along with Maddy's long-time nemesis, Naomi White.

It's a scorching July afternoon, and Police Officer Mike Havlicek is called to an incident near the statue in Jacobi Park.

Mike unravels the mystery and finds himself steeped in the paranormal. Major Harlen Jacobi, the man in the statue, is about to escape from his place on the granite pedestal to unleash hell on the city of Cedar Creek, and Mike is the only person who can stop him.
