But now Ellen has returned to Pacific City, and shes ready to do whatever it takes to get Brown back. Even if it means exposing his deepest secret ... a painful truth Brown would do anything to stop from coming to light. Hed kill a whole lot of people just to keep this one thing quiet--and soon enough, the bodies just happen to start piling up around him...
