On a deserted stretch of highway in Delaware are found dead women. Some of them disappear for a long time, while others are found dead with bizarre and mysteriously located bodies. When a pattern is revealed between crimes, the FBI understands that it is dealing with a sophisticated killer maniac who lures girls into a death trap and will never stop.
Desperate to solve this case, the FBI asks special agent Riley Page to tackle it. However, Riley, who has a brilliant mind, has not yet had time to recover from the last investigation: she enjoys the peace of domestic life and wants to devote more time to her daughter April. But when the killings become too alarming and sharp and her ex-partner Bill personally asks for her help, Riley realizes that she cannot refuse.
Riley's hunt leads her into the turbulent world of hitchhikers, vagabonds and women that no one can take care of. When she finds out that several girls are still alive in captivity by the maniac and she can manage to save them, Riley realizes that she will not stop at anything and will go all the way. The agent realizes that her own life is falling apart, so in a feverish race over time, she plunges deeper into the killer's mind in order to save those women - and herself.
