The bodies of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted fugitives are showing up in Los Angeles County.

The public is hailing the unknown killers as heroes, but homicide detective Alex Brandon worries that worse is to come from a group that is taking justice into its own hands—vigilantes with money, know-how, and inside information.

The murders also have eerie similarities to ones investigated by Brandon ten years ago. The serial killer can't be the same one—that man died at the hands of his teenaged stepson, Kit Logan. Logan spent years being brutally dominated by his stepfather. Protected by his wealthy family, Logan never spent a day in jail for his revenge. He was sent to a private reform school in Malibu, a school for the worst-behaved sons of L.A.'s most affluent— the brats of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Brentwood. Logan's now in control of the family fortune but is he manipulating law enforcement—and Brandon in particular— as well?
