Detective Lois Tryon (Nash-Betts) feels like these crimes are eerily personal, like someone or something is tormenting her. At home, Lois struggles with a strained relationship with her daughter, a long-term hospitalized husband, and her own inner demons. With no leads and no where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan (Diamond), a nun and journalist at the Catholic Guardian.
Sister Megan, with her own troubled past, has seen the worst of humanity but still believes in its capacity for good. Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil. As Lois and Sister Megan gather clues, they become entangled in a sinister web that raises more questions than it answers.
Vance plays Marshall Tyron, Manville is Nurse Redd, Chavez plays Father Charlie, and Goodwin is Merritt Tryon. Kelce’s character has not yet been revealed.
