Convicted for covering up for Kit Parker, her serial killer lover's, crimes, Karen Miller is released from prison. But, because of the nature of the murders she was associated with and because she eventually gave evidence against her boyfriend, she is released into witness protection and given a new identity: Emma Hall. Her protection officer Pete Guillory promises to guide her through this new life but warns her to live quietly here in the Louisiana bayou where her new home will be. He warns her not to draw attention to herself and above all, to never ever involve herself with young women - her boyfriend's choice of victim. However, she panics on her first night alone and ventures into the local town where she defends a girl against her tormenters. A strange friendship grows between the two until this troubled girl is later found dead. It triggers in Emma, previously locked, traumatic memories of her boyfriend's crimes and she starts to wonder whether she did more than just provide her killer boyfriend with an alibi. Meanwhile, Mary Barlow the grieving mother of Theresa, who she firmly believes is one of the victims of Kit Parker and his lover Karen Miller, receives a visit from John Tyler, a sexual predator desperate for redemption, and who proposes he use his dark crimes for good in the form of safety advice to women via the foundation Mary Barlow has set up in her daughter's name. But, triggered by the release of Karen Miller, Mary instead blackmails him to hunt down Karen Miller and bring her to the justice she appears to have escaped.
