When a dead body opens its eyes in the hospital, a sacred moment becomes a nightmare for Jane Rizzoli, a pregnant patient and homicide detective.
After completing the fifth autopsy of the day, Dr. Maura Isles hears a noise. The long row of bodies seems to have come to life. The noise is coming from one of the body bags.
The cold skin, the purple fingers, the blue lips... "Another body," the doctor thought. However, she had no idea she was about to get the shock of her life.
The corpse opens its eyes.
With a weak pulse and low vital signs, the unknown young woman is immediately taken to the hospital. But the bizarre event soon proves fatal. With surprising coldness and precision, the woman kills a security guard and takes several hostages. Among them, a pregnant patient: Detective Jane Rizzoli.
Who is this violent and desperate woman? What does she want? As hours of tension build, Dr. Maura joins forces with Jane's husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, to uncover the identity of the mysterious killer. When federal agents suddenly appear on the scene, Maura and Gabriel realize they are dealing with a case that goes far beyond a simple hostage crisis.
