Brian Lord barely survived the car bomb that killed his fiancée. The defense lawyer has lost his practice and his sanity. He takes a lifeguard job at the beach, hoping the ocean will wash away his trauma. But danger follows him to the shore. Meanwhile, medical examiner Abi Brenner starts her dream job in Napa Valley. The wine country seems perfect until she discovers a pattern linking several deaths. Someone has been killing systematically. Across town, a woman with solar urticaria stays trapped in her apartment. Sunlight burns her skin, so she explores the world through her drone. The flying camera captures something terrible: a brutal killing. The murderer spots the drone watching.
