The Countdown Killer is still at large, and another murder has Janelle and Jayson Alexander playing catch up. She's now an editor on the crime beat and he's moved up in the ranks to a lieutenant at the Detective's Bureau, but neither were aware they were under constant observation until it was too late.

And one decision will lead to a narcissistic reaction that no one saw coming...
