When informed by the FBI, led by agent Mike Sheehy, that the homicide appears to be part of a string of crimes carried out by an enigmatic sect, Hawkins inappropriately inserts himself into the investigation and embarks on a cunning path of revenge. The twists in the case lead him to believe the FBI may know much more than they're letting on and Hawkins suspects that one of their agents is deeply involved. As the story unfolds, the FBI solves the mystery but unfortunately for them, so does Hawkins at nearly the same time. The clock races as they try to prevent the next death - whether it's a child or the target of Tom's vengeance. When it's all said and done, the aftermath can only truly be sorted out by God.
