- Going Urban
A broker for an assassin with a mysterious past quickly grows restive in his role of managing the business side of murder for his conscienceless partner. Repulsed by the torture his personal millstone inflicts, Castillo absently doodles on an altar cloth at the scene of one of their crimes to avoid watching the carnage unfold. When he realizes that the police took note of the unusual drawing, Castillo decides to playfully sign all of his partner's crime scenes, and invents his own urban legend online. The story of the Night Lotus resonates with amateur sleuths and sickly, admirers of serial killers. Castillo is hooked, but his partner is becoming more and more unhinged. He realizes it's time they part ways, but also fears for his life. Still, knowing his partner O'Banion could never function without him, Castillo hatches a plan, and commits his first murder in the ruse to be rid of O'Banion for good. He finds it is even more addictive to be the killer than to take credit for what someone else has done. A foolish mistake, hanging around to watch what happens after his plan is implemented, puts him face-to-face with a detective - Jay Raver - an ambitious, young cop who refuses to ignore the truth he discovers in Internet lore, and recognizes legitimate elements of crimes the police have never released. Castillo's attempt to eliminate witnesses who would recognize the stranger in a small town the night of a prominent citizen's murder, and his failure to succeed in killing Detective Raver sets the stage for a game of cat and mouse, where Castillo fancies himself a predatory mouse, and law enforcement with their vast resources, his prey the cat. A trail of bodies follows in the wake of his game, and his compulsion to take credit for his work fuels the resolve of law enforcement to end Castillo's killing spree.
- Pain Killer
Raver and Briarwood hunt for Castillo's true identity as more killings with a distinctively different yet similar signature occur. As they attempt to flesh out the background of Castillo's former partner, a rift forms. Is the killer in the fresh crime scenes Castillo, or has he developed a cult following that resulted in a copycat? As Raver and Briarwood investigate, the answer becomes clear.
- Evolution
Castillo's body count drops drastically while his surrogates do his bidding. Meanwhile, Raver and Briarwood uncover a crucial clue that leads them one step closer to finding Castillo's real identity, which accidentally exposes a witness who seems determined to protect Castillo at all costs. The reason for her defense of a serial killer adds another chilling layer to the game of cat and mouse.
- #DigUrGrave
As Raver and Briarwood finally discover the true identity of their prey, Castillo changes the game completely and shifts his focus in a disturbing direction. But not even Castillo can imagine the outcome in the gripping final showdown between cop and killer.
