There’s a killer stalking the mean streets, but instead of targeting the poor and downtrodden like Jack the Ripper, The Widow is meting out justice against the rich and powerful. The only person standing in the way of this killer is the newly promoted detective, Kenneth Rijkers, whose ironclad belief in justice may wind up being yet another victim of The Widow.

The city's elite are thrown into panic when a member of the upper crust is murdered by a killer dubbed "the Widow." Detective Rijkers is put on the case. The city's most powerful man, Basil Garvey, is a target and works to control the investigation.
The Painful Truth
The Widow strikes again, and Kenneth Rijkers begins connecting the killings to a 12-year-old mystery, while Basil Garvey, a business oligarch, pulls a number of strings to control the investigation.

The pressure gets to Israel, who admits to her and seven other involvements in Margaret's death; Kenneth secures the suspects, freeing only Israel to operate on a friend of Regina's - inadvertently putting her into the Widow's clutches.
