High school student Emma Campano is apparently murdered in her own home during a botched burglary. Arriving home shortly afterwards, Emma's mother Abigail confronts and kills the apparent murderer. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is ordered to investigate alongside the police. GBI Deputy Director Amanda Wagner assigns her best investigator, Special Agent Will Trent. Will is unpopular with the Atlanta PD due to his role in a recent police corruption investigation, which ended many APD careers. Will's car has been vandalized but he stops off to adopt Betty, a chihuahua owned by his recently deceased neighbor. In addition, Emma's father Paul Campano knows Will from their time in an orphanage as children, where Paul bullied Will severely. Nevertheless, Will's superior observation and reasoning soon establish the dead girl is not Emma Campano but her friend, Kayla; Emma has been kidnapped using her own car, and the boy killed by Abigail is innocent. Amanda partners Will with reluctant APD Detective Faith Mitchell, whose mother's police career was ended by Will's investigation. APD Detective Michael Ormewood leads Emma's kidnapping investigation. Will finds Emma's abandoned car thanks to a tip from his friend, undercover narcotics Detective Angie Polaski. CCTV from a recording studio near the car confirms Emma's kidnapping but those responsible can't be identified. Suspicion falls on recording studio worker Warren, who had an obsession with Emma but when Will and Faith arrive at the studio to question him, Warren fatally shoots himself. Will returns home to find Angie waiting for him, and they become intimate. Next morning Paul Campano arrives at Will's house, saying he has shot Emma's kidnapper.

Paul is surprised to find Angie at Will's house and it transpires Angie also grew up in foster homes with Will and Paul. Regarding the shooting, Paul suspected Emma's high school English teacher of sexually abusing her, went to the man's house and shot him 'accidentally'. He further justifies that, given their collective childhoods, they should recognize a predator. Will asks Paul for a DNA sample to eliminate him as a suspect, leading to a fight between them. Will's further investigations duly raise suspicions about the wounded teacher, Evan Bernard, who soon reveals himself as a sexual predator and cunning sociopath and taunts Will when he recognizes Will is dyslexic. Meanwhile Angie, questioned by her colleagues, admits to an 'on-off' relationship with Will for several years. Angie also has a history of alcohol and substance abuse and her sponsor, Det. Franklin, is concerned Angie's relationship with Will is potentially unhealthy. Angie has transferred to homicide and partnered with Ormewood, apprehensively as they had a brief past affair. Angie and Ormewood quickly solve their first case thanks to young witness Nico, who is non-binary. Angie recruits Nico to take care of Will's new dog Betty while he's at work. Will realizes the high school guidance counsellor, Mary Clark, is involved in Emma's kidnapping. Mary almost kills Will when he goes alone to interview her but he is saved by Faith. Mary has also been sexually abused and manipulated by Evan and refuses to co-operate. Will asks Angie to share a horrifying story from her own childhood with Mary, at which point Mary breaks down and gives the GBI detectives Emma's location. Emma is saved and Evan arrested and charged. Will asks Angie over for dinner but she refuses, upset over her personal trauma being used to break the case.

Will, Faith and Hall County Sheriff Josie Miller are joined by Amanda, saying the station wagon murders weren't properly investigated and blaming the sheriff at the time. They find an old photo of four men linked to the murders. Josie recognizes two of the men as the recent murder victims. A local mechanic is soon identified as another in the photo. Carrying a shotgun, he refuses to surrender and Josie shoots and kills him, shocking Amanda. The fourth man is eventually identified as David Merrick, son of the sheriff at the time of the murders. Exploring the old station wagon, Will realizes there was a baby in the car, overlooked by the assailants and later taken by sheriff John Merrick. Josie Miller was that baby and is now exacting revenge on her family's killers. Josie pulls her gun on Faith and demands they confront David Merrick. On Lake Lanier bridge, David confesses to the murders. Josie shoots him in the leg as Faith tries to talk her down. Will and Amanda arrive, Amanda promising to shoot Josie if she harms Faith. Josie throws herself into the lake and drowns. Faith reflects on the history of Lake Lanier, its creation involving destruction of a black community and ghosts haunting the area. In Atlanta, after solving their latest case Ormewood invites Angie to dinner at his family's home.
