Haunted by the unsolved murder of her younger sister, she has retreated into her work, distancing herself from emotions and relationships.

When a series of mysterious deaths rock the city, each marked by an unusual insect presence, Jessica is reluctantly drawn back into a world she tried to escape. Teaming up with a charismatic but troubled homicide detective, Marcus Reed, she discovers that the victims are all connected by a web of secrets tied to a powerful local crime syndicate.
