When an investigation into a string of disappearing girls starts, Emma sees her chance to get back in the action. She begins her own hunt, determined to prove, once and for all, that she's better than the boys. She's not the only one working toward that goal, though; there's a new woman on the force out to make detective. when two more girls go missing, both with ties to the same group, the stakes climb ever higher, and Max finds himself drawn into a search of his own. Who will find the girls first? And will they get there in time?
