Curtis Mackley left Blind River the moment he turned 18, fleeing to Manhattan to follow his dream of being an FBI agent. Fourteen years later, he's a respected member of the Bureau. Then he and his partner, Frankie Lassiter, are sent to Blind River to investigate the disappearances of four young women, and Curtis's visceral hatred for the town are the least of their problems. There are almost no clues, the chief is out of ideas, a reporter is exploiting the disappearances to further her own career, and the prison looms over the treetops is a constant reminder of the criminals who ruled Blind River during Curtis's childhood.

Eleven years ago, Marcus lost everything. His daughter was kidnapped, and his wife was murdered. Now, he spends his days pretending to be paralyzed and touring the country, raising money for missing children.

He attacks her, but she refuses to give him back his daughter. In his rage, he kills her, but not before she signals an accomplice. For the second time, Marcus watches his daughter disappear into the night.
