In the past Marcella Backland worked for the police and her job was to be a detective. This means she was a person who found the people who did crimes. Marcella stopped her job to start a family. Now she returns to her job and there is an open case from 11 years ago. This means there was a crime, but the police are still looking for the person who did it. In this example, a person who killed many people in the past stopped doing it for a while, but now the killer has started again. It is important for Marcella and the police to find the killer to stop them, or other people may die. Marcella also has problems about herself. She ended her marriage with her husband, and she has blackout episodes where she is sick and can not remember things. This is tough for her and she does not know what to do about the marriage or the illness.
