Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper stands at the edge of Manhattan's waterfront, where the Statue of Liberty and George Washington Bridge frame one of New York's most stunning views.

Detective Mike Chapman, her partner and growing romantic interest, works alongside her as they uncover threats lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly peaceful area. The investigation takes a personal turn when the killer's scheme begins targeting those closest to Cooper and Chapman.
