Will Brent, the detective is a superb agent while working selflessly for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He is newly in love and looking to put behind his miserable past behind him. A local college student goes missing with a trace. Will Trent deliberately is kept away from the case by his mentor and supervisor. She is Amanda Wagner, the deputy director. Will Trent is not able to fathom the motivation of Amanda until they literally collide against each other in an abandoned orphanage. They both were drawn to that location for their different individual reasons. A few decades before, this orphanage was home of Will Trent when his own father was jailed for a murder.
It all looks like that the case which Amanda launched some 4 decades ago has one again come back to life and that too, all of a sudden. It involves the mystery of Will Trent associated with his birth and as well as his parentage.
