Broken

Special Agent Will Trent travels to Grant County, Georgia, where a young woman's death beneath the icy waters of a lake is initially dismissed as suicide. Evidence quickly points to a brutal murder, drawing Will into a tense investigation involving a tight-knit local police department protective of its own. He must navigate complex relationships with local figures, including Dr. Sara Linton and Officer Lena Adams, who are harboring dangerous secrets. The case uncovers a dark web of corruption and hidden connections that threaten to expose old wounds.
