Alice aims to join the sex crimes unit led by veteran agent Nora, portrayed by Quincy Tyler Bernstine.
They uncover links between a billionaire's son's murder and the overdose death of a suspected child trafficker, involving both the FBI and Brooklyn police.
Detective Danny Kelly, played by Scoot McNairy, remains loyal to Alice despite her strained relations with her former squad.
Together, they pursue a female suspect who shifts identities to evade capture while targeting those involved in her past exploitation.
Creator Elizabeth Meriwether draws inspiration from the 1987 neo-noir "Black Widow," exploring the dynamic between a female investigator and a female serial killer.
The suspect, Catherine, is revealed to be a former sex worker seeking revenge on those who abused her as a child.
"I don't really like listening to you," the killer says softly during a chilling murder scene. "I don't like the sounds you're making.
But I love your smile."
