"The Accused and the Lover" (Wednesday, September 15, 2021): Heather Cohen might not look like your standard PI - the bright red hair and tattoos certainly turn heads but when faced with a potentially innocent man in jail she makes it her mission to help prove her client Justin Williams's innocence. He was arrested after an altercation on a beach led to shots being fired. Will a new discovery about his past derail her investigation before it's gained traction? Meantime, elsewhere in Tennessee, an all-female team led by Nashville native Renee Brewer are tailing a suspected cheater. A high-octane chase leads them to a new address. Not long after, they have their mark cornered at an out-of-town hotel as revelations about what he's up to become clear.

"The Killer and the Cure Begins" (Wednesday, September 15, 2021): In Tennessee, as questions emerge about the standard of police work in Heather's murder case, she turns to forensics to try and prove her client's innocence. But with other charges on the table and witnesses that won't speak, can Heather do enough to convince the DA? Meanwhile, in Georgia, an alleged thief has turned up on Sheila McPhilamy's radar. Her client claims she's owed payback but without an address, the case stalls. Then Sheila stumbles upon his unusual side hustle and goes undercover with her team in the hope of following him home.

"The Watcher and the Horseman" (Wednesday, September 15, 2021): Georgia Bounty hunters Alex Haynes and Jon Dalman start their new life as private investigators tracking down a man alleged to have stalked bar manager Lauren. As their case widens, they uncover further revelations about their mark that leave their client reeling. Back in Nashville, a meeting with friends lands a cold case for Renee Brewer and her daughter Amy. They head to a rural town in search of Rachel Conger, who has been missing since 2008. Rumors and accusations are rife, and all eyes look toward a connection to a man acting strangely on horseback.

"The Secret and the Missing" (Wednesday, September 22, 2021): In Paris, Tennessee, Renee Brewer and her daughter Amy are piecing together the last known movements of a missing woman, Rachel Conger. Revelations about her relationship provide new focus and a discovery leaves everyone wondering what's buried in the cornfield next door. Further south, Heather Cohen is hunting for a woman who's due back in jail. Tracking her fugitive to a house in a neighboring county, there's a tense standoff. Can Heather bargain her way inside or is she too late?

"The Bullet and the Bounty" (Wednesday, September 29, 2021): In Georgia, a grieving mother asks Alex Haynes and Jon Dalman for help. Seven years on from her daughter's murder, the police investigation has stalled. Unless Alex and Jon can persuade one of their suspects to talk, their case too could go cold. But revelations from an out-of-town stranger might just yield the breakthrough they need. Elsewhere, Heather Cohen hunts a fugitive in Alabama. A promising lead gives her the run-around until a woodland chase steers the case in another direction.
