Plot Synopsis

The moment a body is found, time speeds up for homicide detectives. Every tick of the clock without an arrest is a second closer to the case running cold. But for the victim's loved ones, time stops. It paralyzes their lives and launches them on an emotional journey until a suspect is arrested. Using the concept of time to weave a kinetic homicide investigation with families struggling to survive sorrow, LIVING A NIGHTMARE follows each investigative experience. In the season opener, "The Long Way Home," a blood-stained bicycle hidden in an Ohio cornfield sets the stage for an unspeakable crime. While police race to find missing college student Sierah Joughin, a vicious predator lurks somewhere in the rural, Midwestern countryside.
