Synopsis: Karen Burns, intelligent, pretty, but overweight, uses her job as an investigative journalist for the Free Press to hide from the pain of a divorce and the ensuing feelings of guilt and loneliness. One evening, she finds a dead body on her farm. This plunges her into an investigation into a string of serial murders that originate on the Internet, and into a tenuous relationship with Detective Bruce McLean, Head of Homicide Investigations. McLean is still mourning the loss of his wife, a police officer, in a mugging turned bad. At first, he is cold toward Karen's advances, but when they meet on the Internet on a Christian dating site, he is persuaded that maybe God wants them together. But Karen wants to write a series of articles about the serial killings, much to the chagrin of McLean, who is adamant that any woman he gets involved with not be investigating incidents that could endanger her life. Karen puts off writing the articles, but when McLean falls head over heels for a woman who looks exactly like his dead wife and breaks off his relationship with Karen, Karen writes the articles and gets deeper and deeper into the investigation, using the Internet as her means of baiting the killer.
