Alex Cross receives an anonymous call promising deadly explosions across Washington DC. Working alongside his wife Bree, Cross must determine if the threat represents a sick joke or genuine danger before the caller makes good on the promise. Meanwhile, the Women's Murder Club tackles a hotel room shooting where a millionaire woman survives after watching her lover die, raising questions about whether she was the real target. Across the country, Michael Bennett witnesses an attack on the Thanksgiving Day Parade while attending with his family. What the media labels holiday terrorism becomes deeply personal for Bennett, who launches his own investigation to track down the perpetrator. These three cases push each detective to their limits as they race against time and face threats that strike at the heart of their professional duties and personal lives.
