But now there is a new string of serial killings, and the evidence all points to Luke. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs his journey to uncover the truth unfolds in the North Georgia Appalachians, a threat arises that will risk everything he holds close, including his ex-wife and their young daughter.
