Detective Kaiser Brody is having an affair with his partner on the police force, Kim Kellogg. She’s also the wife of another police officer. 

It’s been five years since Geo went to prison, and she’s about to be released. Kaiser has been paying a prison guard for monthly reports on Geo to see if she has contact with Calvin. Three other men who escaped with Calvin have since been found dead. Kaiser sees that Geo makes regular phone calls to a “financial planner” who is likely a money launderer.

The narrative flashes back to Kaiser’s interview with Calvin following Calvin’s arrest, which occurs just before Calvin can flee across the Canadian border. During the interview, Calvin is calm, collected, and arrogant. 

In the present, Kaiser’s boss informs him that two bodies were just found: an adult woman, dismembered and buried in a series of shallows graves, and a child.

The newly discovered bodies were buried in almost the exact same place as Angela Wong, in the woods behind Geo’s childhood home.
