Special agent Nikki Hunt is called to the boundary waters near Stillwater, Minnesota, where the body of a young woman has been found frozen beside a remote lake. The victim is Nikki's childhood friend Annmarie, and the velvet ribbon tied in Annmarie's hair is the hallmark of a serial killer Nikki has been hunting for years. Nikki throws herself into the case, and is shaken when she goes to Annmarie's home and finds a dead-bolt on the front door and, inside, a map with the locations of murdered women, and a photo of Nikki's mother that no one has ever seen. Nikki soon realizes that the key to unlocking this case is in her own family, but digging up the past could put her own daughter in danger.
