When serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) escapes from prison, the retired FBI detective who captured him first time around, Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon), is called back into action to assist the manhunt. Officers seek out and secure Carroll’s ex-wife, Claire; his son, Joe; and the only one of his victims to survive, Sarah.
As Ryan closes in on the escaped killer, he makes a sinister discovery - Carroll has created a following of disciples to carry out his twisted plans. These fanatical followers soon start to make themselves known - one young woman taking her own life in front of Ryan at Carroll’s request. And the twisted killer has a message for his pursuer: this is only the beginning.

In the next scene, set in the modern day, Walter is an adult, awkwardly splitting up with his girlfriend. Little does the genius hacker know that his life is about to take an action-packed turn. Catch series 1 and 2 of the US drama on Netflix now.
