A gritty Irish crime thriller about revenge, murder and the hunt for a ruthless predator.

In Cork, young women are disappearing.

Two bodies are found covered in strange burn marks. When the investigation reveals the victims worked at the glamorous Green Matthews cosmetics counter, DS Katie Maguire begins to question what really took place during their private 'training sessions' with the wealthy owner.

Meanwhile, an anonymous predator is making money on the dark web by filming acts so depraved they shake Katie's entire team.

When an abduction makes the case personal, Katie races to find answers. But vengeance doesn't always strike where you expect, and a devastating reckoning is waiting for her too.
