Rush and Valens investigate the discovery of nine human skulls buried in a residential backyard. The house has remained vacant since 1972, when 33-year-old Simone Marks, who was later murdered, shared the home with her 12-year-old boy, George. Since Simone's murder was never solved, Rush and Valens reopen the homicide. Months ago, Rush and the detectives worked on a case where nine headless human remains were uncovered in a wildlife preserve, and their investigation led them to the grown-up George Marks.

Vicki's boyfriend at the time, Craig, is first on the list of potential suspects but denies any wrongdoing.
