First, they have to catch him, but using his wife as bait is not enough. While the Russians attempt to organize a meeting of rival families where Darwin will be terminated, something the Italians tried twice and failed, Darwin realizes he is on his own.

Then Darius comes across a journal that belonged to one of the victims, which includes startling information on a decade-old cold case. While he attempts to investigate on his own, people continue to die—some by just walking into the lake to drown. The police chief calls in the FBI for assistance, and they immediately lock down the town, effectively trapping everyone inside, along with whatever is killing them. With the lockdown in full effect, people are still drowning, leaving the authorities to question who—or what—is killing the people of Shadow Bay.
