Dr. David Beck remains tethered to the memory of his wife, Elizabeth, who was kidnapped and murdered at Lake Charmaine eight years ago. The killer was caught and imprisoned, yet the discovery of two unidentified bodies near the original crime scene reopens the investigation. Simultaneously, David receives an anonymous, coded email containing a link to a webcam and a phrase only he and Elizabeth knew. The footage reveals a fleeting glimpse of a woman who looks exactly like his deceased wife. As the police begin to suspect David of the old murder, he flees from federal agents and a shadowy group of assassins to uncover whether Elizabeth is still alive.
