In Dearborn Heights, Michigan, a Good Samaritan reported the discovery of a body in the Rouge River. The victim, a prostitute, had been strangled to death. Who killed the woman in the river? Meanwhile, Detroit’s Violent Crime Task Force is investigating the murders of three women whose bodies were found discarded along the railroad tracks. As these investigations intersect, a massive inquiry unfolds, extending from Norfolk, Virginia, to Hawaii, as well as Thailand, Hong Kong, and Singapore, involving both the FBI and NCIS. A suspect is arrested, revealing the details of what his victims suffered in their final moments, prompting the legal system to act. Will there be justice for the victims and their families?
