  Little Elsa Danforth has a very special and unusual connection with her mother. When she is four years old, as a result of this unique empathy, she is traumatized when her mother is the first victim of a serial killer later known as the Harvester. Although the horrific memory is suppressed, it has a dramatic impact on the rest of her life.
  She and her father learn to move on and find happiness, but each fall the Harvester strikes again, reviving the pain. Despite this and other heart-wrenching tragedies that befall her, Elsa develops into a strong, loving, and determined young woman, though one with a darkness lurking inside her mind.
  Bored FBI Cadet Paul Demerov answers a call that changes his life and triggers a meteoric rise that links his career with the murderous reign of an infamous serial killer. As years pass and the Harvester kills again and again, the nightmares start; a mysterious red-head haunts his sleep. Can he save her from the monster that wants to harvest her heart?
  Twenty years after her mother was ripped from her life, the Harvester continues to claim victims and elude the FBI. Elsa takes the law into her own hands, adopts an alias, and devotes her life to killing the Harvester, drawing him out by making herself a potential victim. Training, discipline, and tapping into that darkness within her, have made her a dangerous weapon; a weapon that finds more than one target.
