In the quiet town of Monroe, Georgia, the Penny Murderer once instilled fear through a reign of terror, leaving behind cryptic notes bearing the haunting words "A penny for your thoughts." Detective Mike Allen and his team managed to capture Samuel Johnson, a man they believed to be responsible for the twelve gruesome murders. However, Johnson's persistent claims of innocence, coupled with his suspicious death shortly after his conviction, cast doubt on the true nature of the case.

Nearly three decades later, the nightmare returns. Two murders occur on the same night, bearing the unmistakable calling card of the Penny Murders. One victim shares a connection to the old case, while the other is Marcus Jones, Sergeant Allen's partner and friend. Sergeant Allen is now forced to work with a partner who questions his every move and challenges the integrity of the original trial. They are now in a race against time to catch this killer before they kill again.

Simultaneously, Attorney Nicole Jones, Marcus's grieving widow, embarks on a dark and harrowing journey to unravel the truth behind her husband's death.

Uncovering the truth becomes paramount, leading to a reckoning that could forever change the lives of those involved.
