When nineteen-year-old Jamie Mills is found hanging from a tree, his death is ruled a suicide. However, Detective Kim Stone's instincts tell her otherwise, even though her temporary replacement is focused on bigger cases. While recovering from her last traumatic investigation, Kim uncovers a crucial detail: Jamie had an injury that made it impossible for him to climb the tree, suggesting murder. Taking charge of the case, she learns from Jamie's parents that they had sent him to a clinic to 'cure' his sexuality. His mother describes him as introverted and moody, but a friend paints a different picture of a vibrant young man. The investigation leads Kim to the clinic run by the Gardner family, who claim patients come voluntarily and can leave at will. Yet, former patients are terrified to discuss their experiences. Adding to the mystery, Kim discovers faded restraint marks on Jamie's wrists. The case escalates when a young woman's body is found, also staged to look like a suicide, and she too had been a patient at the clinic. As Kim grapples with her own trauma, she must confront a chilling killer determined to silence the clinic's former patients one by one.
