He's put on psychiatric leave. She's in hiding with her family trying to finish her book. The conspiracy thickens and the gates of Hell are about to open. Violence and darkness ahead. Yes Caskett moments in between and some sex eventually but before the light there's always the gaping maw of darkness trying to consume you... Season 1 has smutty fun. Season 2 is drama.
Kate's the author, Ricks the detective. A killer is loose and she's meddled with his dead father's case. Now it's time to make things interesting. Read Alternate Universe for season 1. Warning: season 1 is M rated.
