Broken

When the body of a young woman is discovered deep beneath the icy waters of Lake Grant, a note left under a stone on the shore suggests suicide. However, it quickly becomes clear that this is not a case of suicide. It is a brutal, cold-blooded murder.

Before long, former Grant County coroner Sara Linton, who has returned home for Thanksgiving after a long absence, finds herself unwillingly embroiled in the case. The main suspect is desperate to see her, but when she arrives at the local police station, she is confronted with a horrifying sight – he lies dead in his cell, the words 'Not me' scrawled on the walls.

Something about his confession doesn't add up, and deeply suspicious of Lena Adams, the investigating officer, Sara immediately calls in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Shortly thereafter, Special Agent Will Trent is brought in.
