Set in rural South Carolina in 1995, a veteran detective is forced to reconcile the errors of a past case when a woman she convicted of murder is exonerated after 10 years in prison. Meanwhile, a series of grisly and ritualistic murders rock their decaying town, and our heroine is put at odds against her ambitious partner as they race to put the pieces together.

Detectives Coleen Clayton and Lester Pruitt are searching for a missing person when they turn up a dead body. Fitting into a pattern of gruesome homicides hitting South Carolina, the case bears an unnerving resemblance to one from 30 years ago—one that still haunts Exeter. The killer has become a legend, spawning countless ghost stories and Halloween costumes. A killer named Crouchback. But Crouchback died in prison 30 years ago, right?

Following the shocking reveals of season one, Colleen and Pruitt are forced to reopen a highly controversial cold case, which happens to be one Colleen could never solve. During the investigation into the murder of a pair of beloved local teens, they are forced to investigate their own friends and family. In order to finally put the case to rest, they must find new leads from an eight-year-old case, sift through long-buried secrets, and get to the shocking truth of what really happened.
