The Crossings somewhere in West Texas is a small county with its own problems. In the aftermath of a corrupt sheriff, influenced by a ruthless resident, the new Sheriff, Chris Winters is putting the town back in order. A job that is not easy but just when the area seems civilized...

Agnes Axelrod is brutally murdered outside her motel room at the Cheap Sleeper. If that is not enough, someone drags her dead body into her motel room and beats her corpse. Reverend Daniel Cates, aka Preacher Man, came to The Crossings a few months prior with his "flock". Unknown to Cates, he and Agnes receive notes that read, "I know what you did. Your time is up."

Kali, the strong willed wife of Sheriff Winters, is also a detective for the department. Kali's determination to find the connection of the notes unravels the darkest parts of Agnes's past. The deadly secret that Agnes and the Preacher Man share will lead Kali and Chris on a race against time to uncover the shocking and horrific truth of all those involved.
