 An old, unsolved case that has haunted Detective Hill for years is suddenly reopened when a teenage girl is attacked on a local beach. Drugged and assaulted in exactly the same manner as the murder victims from the unsolved case, and wearing the necklace of one of the dead girls, she may finally enable him to successfully prosecute the suspect in the original crimes. The case begins to unravel, however, when a suspicious accident puts the new victim in a coma and procedural errors threaten to make all of the evidence inadmissible. With another young woman missing and probably dead, it s up to a surprising volunteer to catch the suspect in the act.
