New to the force, detective Bridgette Cash is handed a woodland homicide as her first case when a young woman’s body is found in the forest.
Convinced the death is the work of a serial killer, Bridgette faces scant forensic leads and an elusive perpetrator while trying to piece together evidence under intense time pressure.
She must also navigate skeptical superiors and a doubting chain of command that complicates investigative decisions. As the clock ticks and pressure mounts, Bridgette scrambles to gather clues and prevent another attack in this taut police procedural.

A police procedural setup featuring a rookie detective assigned a forest murder. Much of the setup centers on investigative limitations such as scarce forensic leads, a doubting chain of command, and a race against time. The suspected serial killer element appears central to the investigation rather than supernatural or speculative elements. This may appeal more to someone interested in procedural tension, methodical clue-gathering, and the pressures of policing under doubt and deadline.
