Extended Synopsis

The discovery of three skeletons hidden in the dark, dusty basement of an old Montreal building sets off a chilling investigation. While the homicide detective in charge quickly dismisses the remains as historic relics belonging to a bygone era, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is unconvinced. Her meticulous examination of the bones reveals a far more sinister and immediate message: these three young women were murdered. Plunging into an unauthorized search for the truth, Tempe finds herself entangled in a deeply rooted web of evil. With three women permanently missing and a ruthless killer covering their tracks, Tempe must uncover the identities of the victims before she becomes the next target.
