What does America's first traitor have to do with a present-day killer?
Stoughton detective, Colton Baker, finds himself wrapped up in a murder investigation his first week on the job. As more bodies turn up, all marked with strange symbols, both the State Police and FBI become involved. Quickly, the investigation turns political.
Baker and Agent Diaz, a young, beautiful FBI academy graduate, put agency grievances and politics aside to begin their hunt for the killer together.
Stoughton, Massachusetts is a town deep rooted in history. Soon, their investigation leads them to the inception of our nation and introduces them to a traitorous founding father. Can information from this small town's past help decipher the killer's mysterious messages? Can they crack the code and stop a sadistic killer before they strike again?
Some secrets are worth killing for!
