Before an aging serial killer on death row takes his secrets to the grave, a team of detectives in California's rural Central Valley are thrust back into the decades-old "Speed Freak Killers" mystery. Guided by one of the killers himself, the female-led team hunts for undiscovered victims and seeks atonement for their department's past mistakes.
A stunning and controversial move from California Governor Gavin Newsom opens the door to a death row meeting between the detectives and Wesley Shermantine. It could be the team's best and final hope of finding more victims. The visit yields two new locations where Shermantine claims he buried more victims decades ago: A dense orchard up the road from Shermantine's childhood home and an old abandoned frontier town known as Lost City. All these years later, the detectives question the killer's memory and consider the possibility that he's still playing games. In light of their promise to exhaust every last lead they can, the detectives set out with cadaver dogs and a forensic team to see what buried secrets the earth might yield.
