However, some saw this elaborately costumed project as nothing more than exploitation. Did anger turn to murder?

As new murders arise, Alex and Milo look into the unsettling case, culminating in one of the deadliest threats they've ever faced.
Los Angeles, a city of sunlight and celebrity, reveals a darker side to Homicide Lt. Detective Milo Sturgis and psychologist Alex Delaware. One morning, they stumble upon a shocking scene in a seemingly idyllic neighborhood: a naked young man lies dead in the street, apparently the victim of a hit-and-run. However, the discovery of a blood trail leading to a nearby home suggests a more sinister scenario. Inside, they find a young woman brutally murdered. The identity of the male victim remains a mystery, but the woman, Cordelia Gannett, raises further questions. Alex recognizes her from a complicated child custody case. Gannett, a self-styled internet influencer, had previously misrepresented herself as a psychologist and continued her online career despite legal troubles. As Alex and Milo dig deeper, they uncover Gannett's troubled relationships, a painful family history, and a questionable past. They must determine whether she was a target or if the man in the street was collateral damage. The investigation reveals layers of deception and the potential connection between the two victims, leading to a complex double homicide mystery.
