The investigation drags Logan through a landscape of old feuds, new betrayals, and the unrelenting grim reality of his job, forcing him to confront personal demons alongside the horrors of the case. He races against time to piece together the fragments of a brutal puzzle before more lives are lost and the blood road claims its next victim.
