Destruction follows the ruthless serial killer, Jeremy Rose, the Bayou Butcher, as he heads north to evade capture for his horrific crimes. As he seeks safe harbour with a former friend, he remains focused on unfinished business with forensic pathologist Dr. Wren Muller, the only target who's ever escaped him - twice. But not this time. He's playing a game designed to make her suffer, and she must play by his twisted rules.

Still in shock over the harrowing encounter with her old nemesis, Wren is on forced medical leave in New Orleans, attempting to mend the deep scars of her traumatic past. But with growing evidence that Jeremy is leaving a fresh trail of mutilated victims across Massachusetts, Wren realises the best way to heal is to renew her pursuit of this vicious killer. She sets her sights on Jeremy, only to discover that she may have walked directly into his trap. As their twisted cat-and-mouse game ratchets up to a violent clash of good versus evil, Wren prepares to sacrifice everything to bring Jeremy to justice.
