Anna Graves always wanted to be a journalist, like her father, Simon. Anna works at a radio station, taking questions from callers. Anna is recently separated from her husband, Guy, with whom she has a young daughter, Joni. Anna is still having a hard time dealing with their separation.

While Anna is on a walk with Joni one day, she is approached by a high school student. Elliot has a wild look in his eyes and is armed with a knife. Anna is afraid for her daughter. While trying to protect Joni, she grabs a comb out of her purse; the only thing she has for protection. As Elliot comes towards her, he falls on Anna and the comb goes into his neck. Anna is shocked when Elliot dies at her feet, but she is cleared of all charges when witnesses back up that she acted in self-defense.

While Anna tries to get her life back together, strange things start to happen. Back when her father was a journalist, he was working on a story on a notorious serial killer, nicknamed the "Ophelia Killer." Before her father was able to finish his story, he dies, jumping to his death from the lighthouse. Anna has always felt that maybe investigating this story was just too much for him. Now Anna is getting emails from someone claiming to be the Ophelia Killer.

Anna wants to find out who is writing the emails. At first, she thinks it is Elliot's father because he's outraged at his son's death. Simon's brother, Jamie doesn't think it's his father and decides to help Anna in her search for the Ophelia Killer. As they get closer to who is behind this, they know that there is no turning back...
