In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

Follow heroic first responders, as well as their family saga of power and glamour, in one of America's most diverse and dynamic cities: Nashville, Tennessee.

When her estranged best friend Anna mysteriously vanishes into a women-only retreat in the woods, messy and heartbroken Derick crashes the culty pagan commune determined to bring her home. But the longer she stays, the harder it gets to tell who’s healing and who’s brainwashed. As the Summer Solstice nears and Anna is chosen for a “ceremony” called Induction Day, Derick uncovers disturbing secrets buried beneath the flower crowns and sisterhood mantras, including blood rituals, fertility experiments, and the looming promise of paradise known as Summerland.
