The local sheriff's department has been sluggish in its response, and the fate of these missing girls has largely been ignored by the broader community. However, the cries for justice grew louder and more insistent when the body of a young star student and refugee, the Syrian teenager Razan Elkader, was found deliberately placed in a mosque. Determined to unravel the mystery and bring the perpetrators to justice, Detective Inaya Rahman and Lieutenant Waqas Seif of the Denver Police Department are enlisted to investigate Razan's murder. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a chilling connection to other missing and murdered girls in the area. However, their quest for the truth is obstructed by Seif, who appears to be hiding something. Inaya is drawn to Seif, as they share a common experience as members of vulnerable groups. But she remains cautious of his motives, suspecting that he may be covering up the crimes of their boss, whose connections in Blackwater Falls run deep. Seeking assistance, Inaya turns to her female colleagues, attorney Areesha Adams and Detective Catalina Martín, for help in unraveling the conspiracy.
