Dr. Regina McLaren is a welcome addition to the faculty of the fledgling Psychology Department of Diamond Cove University, a small institution in the quaint coastal village of Diamond Cove, Maine. Reggie hopes the beautiful location and small school will help her bury painful memories and excise personal demons. Denny Petit heads up the Diamond Cove police department, having left the department in Chicago, and is running from his own demons. When brutal murders begin to happen, Denny asks Reggie for her professional input. Their hunt for the killer forces them to face their own haunted pasts and their growing attraction for each other. Will they be able to stop the killer before one of them meets the same bloody death?
