Paradise, Massachusetts, police chief Jesse Stone returns, tracking the path of a pair of thrill killers.
Jesse Stone has a problem no officer of the law likes to face: Dead bodies keep appearing, but clues do not.
A man takes his dog out for a run on the beach, only to be discovered hours later – with two holes in his chest.
A woman drives her Volvo to the store to do some grocery shopping, and is then found dead, her body crumpled behind her loaded shopping cart.
A commuter takes a shortcut home from the train, and never makes it back to his house.
Hunting down a serial killer is difficult and dangerous in any town, but in a town like Paradise, where the selectmen and the media add untold pressures, Jesse feels considerable heat.
Already walking an emotional tightrope, he stumbles; he's spending too much time with the bottle, and with his ex-wife – neither of which helps him, or the case. And the harder these outside forces push against him, the more Jesse retreats into himself, convinced – despite all the odds – that it's up to him alone to stop the killing.
