Believing her football coach father has been murdered, she takes the gun of a dead policeman that was left behind at a scene of the crime and shoots the killer. Years later, as an adult, Shannon is a leasing agent at Sherwood Village apartments in Dallas, Texas.

But everything grinds to a halt when a young resident is found murdered in her apartment, leaving Shannon, her family and the community in shock.

When a third victim is discovered, with the scene bearing striking similarities to the previous murders, Manning is sure he will have a long, involved investigation complete with media intrusion.
