Synopsis

In a quiet, seemingly idyllic town, a brutal and cunning serial killer leaves behind a trail of horror.

Three women missing.

All brutally tortured.

No matching motive.

At least that is what Grace sees when she looks into Dale Young's eyes.

When the bodies start surfacing, the only telltale sign this was the work of a serial killer is the matching tattoo on the skin, each body bearing the same chilling signature, leaving the Bridgeton community paralyzed with fear.

The first, a brunette drenched in blood, her body so marred that the origin of her wounds is indiscernible, yet the killer's defining mark stands out—a grotesque calling card. The second, a woman with black corkscrew curls, a stream of blood spilling down her chin. The third, a blonde with haunting eyes, her neck bruised with black and blue prints and her body marked identically to the others.

As always, Grace sees the visions before anyone knows these women are even dead.

She knows who committed the crime but she doesn't know how or why.

New detective, Cassidy Shepherd knows Grace's secret. So when the terse woman makes a threat, Grace has no choice but to partner up with her, and guide her through the investigation using her gift.

But the closer they get to the truth, the more they uncover about their own hidden scars, fears, and the lengths they're willing to go to uncover justice. The killer's twisted motives begin to surface, exposing a terrifying connection that Grace never saw coming.

What they uncover will shatter their understanding of the victims, the killer, and the cost of redemption.

“Missing Women” is a heart-pounding thriller about survival, obsession, and the dangerous pursuit of the truth—where every clue leads to a revelation more horrifying than the last.
