Approximately ten years ago, a series of family murders occurred in Cambridgeshire and with each murder there would always be one survivor, Maria Jones, an excellent high profile Detective "solved" the case and the "killer" Mason Carter was arrested. After ten years of Mason Carter's imprisonment, a family murder takes place in Cambridgeshire that is identical to the ones from ten years ago with one survivor remaining, a 17 year old Kayleigh Phillips. The case is reopened by Detective Jones and she must retrace her steps and go back to square one as there is a series of questions that are still unanswered, "Did she imprison the wrong man?, was there more than one killer? Or is this just a copycat killer inspired by Mason Carter?"
On the day of the crime scene investigation of the Phillips family murder, a young rookie Journalist Peter Stone arrives in the hopes of finding a good story and there he meets Detective Jones. Jones and Stone realise they both need each others help in order to get what they both want; Peter wants a good story to initiate his early career in Journalism and Detective Jones needs a fresh pair of eyes on the case alongside her and someone who can write a good enough story to maintain her glowing resume and her career. The duo reluctantly work together as they clash due to their headstrong, intelligent and independent personalities. Detective Jones is intimidated by Peter as she fears he will solve the case before she does, and prefers to work alone and take all the glory as she is quite selfish and insensitive. Jones only wants to solve the case for her own personal gain, not to prevent the loss of other lives. On the other hand, Peter actually wants to help others and close the case to protect the innocent, but in the process becomes too involved in the case and is consumed by the harsh and dangerous reality of the world of crime.
Peter soon figures out on his own that he knows who the killer are going to murder next and tries alert Detective Jones, but she dismisses his claims as she thinks he's just a young and oblivious boy, so the duo begin to fall apart and their trust breaks down. Peter goes to the next house of the killers target and arrives to try and save them, but the killer calls Detective Jones to send a warning that her time is running out and that her career will be destroyed if the killer isn't caught this time round.
