Forensic police officer Rory Moore is on leave due to her father's death. While cleaning out her father's office, she finds a 40-year-old file about a case called The Thief. During the summer of 1979, five women disappeared in Chicago. The police had nothing to go on until they receive a package from Angela Mitchell, a mysterious woman obsessed with the case who was conducting her own investigation. She then went missing without a trace. The Thief is about to be released on bail after serving time for Angela's death. The file that Rory found indicates that there is much more to the case than previously believed.
