The eyes of the world are on Australia's Gold Coast, but for all the wrong reasons. Seven young women have been killed over a two-week period. The cause of death on each occasion was a slash to the throat in the shape of an X.
Detective Constable Scott Stephens is inexplicably plucked from obscurity, promoted to Detective Inspector, and placed in charge of the investigation.
Gold Coast Mayor, ex-AFL star, and billionaire property developer, Julian Monroe, has a lot to lose. Along with his involvement in various multi-million-dollar projects, his long-anticipated cruise ship terminal and casino resort is at a sensitive stage with potential investors.
Scott unearths withheld CCTV footage of the killer fleeing the scene of the last murder. The face of the offender is unmistakable - it's the mayor's son. The only problem is, he has an identical twin.
Scott not only needs to determine which twin is the killer - the brash, up-and-coming AFL star of the Gold Coast Suns, Dillon Monroe, or his brother, Troy - but he also faces a backlash from his employees when he suspects there's been a cover-up.
An explosive climax ensues, around the vibrant streets of the Gold Coast, when the killer's attention shifts, catapulting Scott's plight in a new direction - a fight for his life.
