Sadie is tempted by a body in the funeral home. She can't help herself, her curiosity is too strong. The depraved and obscene thoughts won't disappear, and with nothing holding her back, she succumbs to her sick desires.

Dr. Bethany Witt wasn't well liked, but Dr. Tara Ross was sure nobody wanted her colleague dead. That is until Tara finds the young woman embalmed and posed in the Barn, an annex of her office once used for embalming 100 years ago. It's a slam-dunk case when Troopers arrest Bethany's ill-tempered ex-boyfriend, a local funeral home employee, based on forensics linking him to the crime scene. Although it looks bad for Bethany's ex, Tara and her fiancé, NYPD Captain Jeffrey Corrigan, aren't convinced he's the right guy and search for another possible killer. Their investigation takes a twisted turn when Brewster Medical Center's CEO suffers the same gruesome fate. With Bethany's ex-boyfriend jailed, homicide investigator, Ty Marchinski, insists a copycat killer did in the CEO, dismissing Jeffrey's theory that the murders are related. Neither murders in his jurisdiction, Jeffrey has no choice but to heed to Ty's request to back off the case. However, Tara persists in her own investigation, determined to find The Embalmer. After she disappears, Jeffrey is back in the game, racing Ty to find the woman he loves before The Embalmer silences her.
