SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer celebrates as her friend Claire Washburn receives medical examiner of the year honors. The Women's Murder Club gathering takes an unexpected turn when a desperate father approaches investigative reporter Cindy Thomas. His daughter has vanished without a trace. She joins a growing list of missing young women plaguing San Francisco. Lindsay works two puzzling deaths: a Jane Doe discovered on a local beach and another victim found in Golden Gate Park. The cases seem unrelated until patterns emerge. All roads lead to 26 Beauties, a group of women who have disappeared into thin air. Lindsay must connect the dots between the dead and the missing before more lives are lost. The investigation pulls the Women's Murder Club into their most complex case yet.
