In Season 5, Janet and Rachel investigate the sinister world of the Darknet, a place that offers complete anonymity to its users. A ruthless game is being played – one man challenges another to murder, leaving a chalk mark at the scene as proof. The images are loaded to a website and the baton is passed to the next killer. As more chalk marks are left, identifying more victims, will Janet and Rachel be able to stop these vicious killers before it’s too late?
