She has been hunting Jelak because he might know what happened to her missing daughter Bonnie. Now Jelak is hunting her back. He leaves clues and taunts at every turn. The killer forces Eve into a deadly contest where the rules keep changing. She must rely on her closest allies, even though bringing them into Jelak's game puts their lives at risk.
