| Windy is the head of the Las Vegas Police Departments Forensics Lab. An entire family gets murdered in their own home. At first it seems random but then another happens. Windy starts picking up on clues leading to the killer. It seems the killer is staying 'true to home'. She discovers the killer has lived there or near each crime scene. The deranged killer poses the bodies of the victims and sets a mirror in front of them so that the killer can see what a 'real family' looks like. Windy and her daughter become the next target. With the help of Ash Laughton, the head of the Violent Crime Unit, Windy helps to crack the case, and she also helps herself to a new love interest. | ||
