Hailey Dean returns to Manhattan after a year away, ready to rebuild her therapy practice and leave her past as a prosecutor behind. The brutal murders of her patients nearly destroyed her, but she survived an attempt on her own life and found the strength to start over. When television calls, Hailey agrees to step in front of the cameras and fight crime in a new arena. The TV studio proves far from glamorous. Fading actresses desperate to escape the D-List start turning up dead, each murder more brutal than the last. These once-shining stars now struggle for any chance at the limelight, but someone ensures their final performance ends in blood. Lieutenant Ethan Kolker, the NYPD cop who once hunted Hailey for her patients' deaths, puts aside their bitter history to ask for her help. Racing against time to stop the killer, Hailey discovers that television can be just as deadly as any courtroom.
