Two months after confronting the notorious "Bayou Butcher," Dr. Wren Muller attempts to find solace in the routine of the New Orleans morgue. Reunited with Detective John Leroux, she seeks a return to normalcy. However, as Halloween approaches, a series of disappearances in cities once terrorized by the Bayou Butcher shatters her fragile peace. When bodies surface bearing the unmistakable signature of the Bayou Butcher's gruesome work, Wren and Leroux are drawn back into a deadly investigation.
