FBI agent Kimberly Quincy is pregnant when she hears the terrifying account of an expectant prostitute. For weeks, several pregnant sex workers have vanished from Atlanta without explanation, simply disappearing as if they never existed. Kimberly finds herself the only person concerned about these missing women. She wonders if a serial killer targets these vulnerable victims, or if someone has discovered the secret to perfect murder. Perhaps these crimes exist only in imagination. Without realizing it, Kimberly walks into a trap set by a killer who transforms women's deepest nightmares into reality. The murderer toys with fears that plague most women. Kimberly's mother and sister both died at the hands of a serial killer years before. Now Kimberly may face her own final moments.
