In a small town burdened by its labels, sheriff's detective Nick Fourcade grapples with a gruesome murder while investigating the sudden disappearance of hometown hero Marc Mercier. Simultaneously, detective Annie Broussard, returning to work after a traumatic attack, takes on the case of B'Lynn Fontenot, whose son Robbie, a recovering addict, has gone missing. As both detectives delve into their cases, they uncover a web of deceit, jealousy, and hidden truths that intertwine their investigations, revealing the dark undercurrents of their community.

Detective Nick Fourcade arrives at Genevieve Gauthier's home in Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, to find a gruesome crime scene: her seven-year-old son, P.J., has been murdered, yet Genevieve remains unharmed, a perplexing witness. With no signs of forced entry or motive, the case baffles Nick, especially as his wife, Detective Annie Broussard, comforts the devastated mother in the emergency room. As a mother, Annie empathizes with Genevieve, but as a detective, she is troubled by the illogical circumstances. The situation escalates when thirteen-year-old Nora Florette, P.J.'s occasional babysitter, goes missing, igniting fear in the community and mounting pressure on the detectives from the new sheriff and anxious parents. As Nick and Annie investigate, they navigate Genevieve's complicated relationships and a cast of local characters, uncovering more questions than answers. The investigation takes a shocking turn when fingerprints at the scene link back to Genevieve, casting suspicion on her as both victim and accused. Is she capable of killing her son to escape motherhood, or is she spiraling into madness? Furthermore, what role does Nora play in this tangled web of tragedy? Nick and Annie must delve deep to uncover the dark truth surrounding the boy's death.
