When a bloody massacre takes place during a prisoner transport. Sarah is personally tasked with investigating the crime. The case quickly takes a shocking turn after an anonymous tip arrives. Photographic evidence that implicates Silver Hill’s Sheriff. All suspicion immediately falls upon her friend, TK. Unconvinced by the evidence, Sarah dives deep into the case. While all her colleagues are certain that TK is the culprit. Sarah is determined to look beyond the mounting evidence against him. With ruthless fugitives from the deadly transport still on the loose. And TK sitting in prison awaiting trial. The case draws nationwide attention and demands for swift justice.
