The random objects turn out to be trophies from unsolved serial cases nationwide. One killer committed murders across the country and kept secrets from each case. Now he targets Kendra directly, using details never released to the public. The FBI assembles a team of profilers to help track him down. The killer escalates his timeline and starts hunting the investigators. Kendra realizes this psychopath has spent years planning his final game.
