It's a critical time in both the relationship and partnership of Clint McCall and Devon Malone. Malone has accepted McCall's proposal and they pick up one of their oddest cases ever: a client wants them to reassure her that her son is not a dangerous psychopath. Easier said than done.

At the same time, old friends and lovers of Malone begin to die--and the deaths seem to be getting closer and closer to her. Is it all coincidence or is someone out for vengeance? And what if that kid IS a dangerous psychopath?

Our two detectives have to scramble for their lives to ensure that they ultimately have a marriage rather than a funeral.
