A woman and her daughter return home from a night out celebrating the coming holiday. They make a terrifying discovery that will change this Christmas and every one that comes after.

Called to the scene is detective Sean Sparks - the fresh face on the homicide team - and this will be his first case as the lead investigator. 

What he finds is blood - and lots of it - but very little in the way of clues. Doubts quickly creep in as he works the case, and he finds himself with an equally troubling question: Is he cut out for homicide?

Stubbornly pursuing what his instincts tell him, he wades through the deception and finds himself coming to a stunning conclusion. But will his theory prove correct and solve this challenging case of Atalanta homicide?
