Amos Decker, the FBI consultant with a perfect memory, returns to tackle a gruesome murder in a rapidly growing North Dakota oil town. Accompanied by his colleague Alex Jamison, they arrive in London, North Dakota, sensing the town's burgeoning fracking industry is attracting trouble. The influx of newcomers hoping for wealth has led to various issues, including drugs, property crimes, and now, murder. Their investigation centers on the death of Irene Cramer, whose body was expertly autopsied and discarded, revealing a series of peculiarities surrounding the case. As they delve into Irene's life, they uncover a shocking duality: by night, she was a prostitute, while by day, she taught at a local religious sect operating on land once owned by a mysterious government facility. The town is filled with ruthless business owners, shady officials, and religious outsiders, all intent on keeping their secrets hidden. When more murders occur, Decker must employ his remarkable memory and detective skills, along with an unexpected ally, to unearth the truth behind Cramer's death and the forces at play before the town's tensions boil over.
