When Police Lieutenant BJ Strafer returns to Benjamin, his old home town, many things are rekindled - his thoughts of returning home for good; his fears for old Sam Carstairs; the long-running feud with that man's son who'd once idolised him, and the hopes of reclaiming the love of the Police Chief's daughter. While investigating the deaths of many young girls, Strafer uncovers the townsfolk's many dark secrets. What he hadn't expected was the return of his old bad reputation, implicating him as the prime suspect.
