Synopsis/Details

When the corpse of a child is discovered buried beneath a research cadaver at a forensic “Body Farm,” Detective Nora Hartley is drawn into an investigation that blurs the line between science, faith, and guilt.

A brilliant but haunted detective still tormented by her son’s unsolved kidnapping, Nora partners with Pete Schoeber, her blunt, loyal colleague, and her daughter Jules, a forensic scientist working at the Farm.

As more children’s bodies surface, the clues point toward Archbishop Matthew Morelli, whose church land hosts the facility. But as Nora digs deeper, the case grows disturbingly personal. The evidence begins to connect the victims - and the Church - to her own buried past.

The investigation unravels a decades-old secret involving sin, silence, and hidden bloodlines, culminating in a devastating revelation that the man she’s hunting may hold the key to her son’s fate.

The Body Farm is a character-driven, emotionally charged crime thriller about the cost of truth and the decay of faith.

Beneath every corpse lies a secret - and some are buried closer to home than anyone dares imagine.
