Frank Lincoln has been obsessed with finding the murderer of the woman whose car he discovered on the highway. It dredges up painful memories of a tragic event in his youth. Will his romantic liaison with the new Chief of Police in Bear Falls stand in his way? As the community is literally shaken by an earthquake and two of its citizens are killed, the search for the killer is put on hold. This gives sadistic Will Andrews time to plot his next attack, and time for Drew Corbin to muster the courage to reveal his feelings to Tess Boles. Will it be in time to save her? Two women have already escaped his clutches, one of whom has the execution of another crime in her mind, and Andrews is scrambling for a way out through a maze of escape tunnels.
