End of Season 1

The upcoming season promises to delve deeper into the consequences of Ava’s fixation, exploring the fine line between curiosity and peril.
Navigating Parenthood
As the narrative unfolds, Ava and Nathan find themselves grappling with the challenges of newfound parenthood. Three months into their journey as new parents, the couple must strike a delicate balance between nurturing their family and pursuing their respective passions. Ava, determined to resist the allure of true crime, returns to her career as a real estate agent, while Nathan immerses himself in coaching private tennis clients.
New Murders
However, the tranquility of their lives is shattered when a series of perplexing murders rocks their community.
