The Cipher introduces us to FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera. When she was just sixteen years old, she managed to escape a serial killer. That lead her on the path to her career, but now video of that incident has resurfaced and gone viral. Many people are impressed by her skills in the video. However, fans aren’t the only ones watching as the man who abducted her all those years ago is watching too and he wants another chance at her. He commits a murder designed to lure her into the case and when it works, that’s just the beginning of the mind games he will pull on Nina.

The series continues with A Different Dawn. In this story, Nina is on the case of a family who were murdered in their sleep. She needs to figure out if there is a link between this crime and a triple homicide that took place a few years and thousands of miles away. What they’ll find is a serial killer that has been on the loose for far too long and a case that reminds Nina too much of the ghostly Latin folktale of La Llorona.
