THE MAN WITH NO FACE IS COMING...

CSI Darby McCormick finds an emaciated, terrified woman hiding in the shadows of a crime scene. A DNA search reveals the woman was abducted five ago and, somehow, she's escaped the dungeon in which she was caged.

With a teenage girl also missing, Darby knows the clock is ticking and this woman is their only lead.

But what she doesn't know is that this is a serial killer who has been prowling America for decades. A killer who Darby knows. The Man With No Face.

Once, long ago, he tore her life apart. Now he wants to finish the job...
