Born deaf, her journey to the prestigious position was riddled with challenges, not least of which was the shadow cast by her father, Nicholas Rhodes, who is behind bars for eight counts of murder.

Together, they must navigate a complex web of personal struggles, challenging perceptions, and the dark legacies of their families, all while tackling the most daunting cases the BAU has ever seen. Will this connection lead to a happy love story, or will is all go up in flames when trust is tested.
