โฆ Synopsis
A serial killer torments the small town of Falls City, Oregon. Dubbed The Confessor, due to a penchant for withdrawing confessions from their victims, the killer has eluded capture for fifteen years.
Detective Cordelia Weston and her partner, Gibson Price, learn of the killer's existence, after a twelve year lull in activity. A search for similar crimes, in neighboring towns, reveals that their killer hasn't been inactive at all.
Delving into the investigation, Cordy is dismayed to find that there is no physical evidence, at any of the crime scenes, to point her in the direction of the killer. When the FBI joins the investigation, Cordy is surprised to learn that the assigned Agent is an old friend of her wife.
With the help of the Agent's psychological profile of The Confessor, Cordy's investigation begins to take off. Unfortunately, the investigation begins to take a personal turn, and Cordy is conflicted about the leads she uncovers.
Torn between what the evidence is telling her, and her own feelings, Cordy is faced with a dilemma. Can she solve this case, knowing it would mean exposing the most painful events of a friend's past?
Or, will the investigation take yet another turn, and lead the decorated Detective to a harrowing revelation about someone else she knows?
