In 1999, Daniel Pell committed a heinous act by murdering an entire family, leaving only one girl alive who was hiding among her dolls. The media nicknamed her 'The Sleeping Doll'. Daniel Pell was sentenced to life imprisonment and earned the infamous title of 'The Son of Manson'. Like the famous criminal, Pell had a 'family' willing to commit the most horrible acts in his name.
Special Agent Kathryn Dance, an expert in body language analysis, has the ability to interpret every gesture and detect lies or inconsistencies in testimonies. When Dance confronts Pell, she feels horrified and, at the same time, fascinated. Pell is no ordinary criminal. After a spectacular and perfectly executed escape from prison, Pell begins a series of bloody crimes across the country. Dance must use all her resources to catch him, even if her own life is in danger.
