But when a series of gruesome crimes rock the community and her father's gallery becomes the epicenter of a deadly game, Fliss discovers that the paintings may hold the key to a killer's identity. Haunted by the specter of a serial killer, Fliss races against time to solve the mystery before it claims another victim.
