Promising young Detective, Ryan Barnes, arrives home on his anniversary to find his wife has been in a devastating car accident. Six months later his wife is in a coma; Barnes ,unable to accept her condition, throws himself into a new murder investigation that soon develops into a hunt for a serial killer. After discovering the victims suffered from degenerative diseases, Barnes and veteran DCI John Faulkner enlist the help of mental health specialist Dr. Joanne Hill. As the investigation deepens and it becomes apparent there are parallels between his own wife and the victims, he is forced to question his own moral beliefs as he desperately searches for the killer.
