This is a hunt for a serial killer story. The audience are with the police and the victims. Huge portions of the chapters are given to each, God Father Two style.

We’re showing the full life of all the key characters slowly throughout the story, but once we introduce them, we stick with them. They are all to receive a type of closer.

If Jamie Lloyd was Thomas Ripley. But never spoke and showed no empathy or emotion, only decision. But we express the decisions, we walk the audience through as if they were on a fly’s back.

Think of each season having Jamie and the ensemble cast, each have their own story arcs completed by the end of each season. Think the Fargo series with only Jamie moving forward to the next season.

We’re telling this story throughout several US states, so there are people from all over working on the various cases.

Nurse from the care home: Hunts Jamie, a murder or two behind. The most likely person to succeed.

Three states of police hunting a serial killer across America. False leads, looking for a man rather than a child.

In one way or another, there are surviving victims. Toby’s mother, we stick with her throughout her story arc. Having her convicted is a very dark choice, but perhaps we take it very close to the line, found not guilty in court for example. Then perhaps we have her figuring out it must have been a child who killed her son.

The burial spot for example, low benches untouched. She covers her walls with potential other crimes having been committed by a child. She figures out one murder is not probably not what has been presumed, though far away, but must be the child who killed Toby.

She hunts Jamie towards the end of Season One and returning in Season Two. She meets the nurse in a diner.

They begin to grasp who and what they are hunting. They discuss what they are prepared to do.

Story arcs for many characters end at the family member of Dr. Loomis’ house. There are consequences for these people coming together in one place.

Jamie’s interactions with others, is simply a better method in which to study them, without much obvious motion. She enters the scene at the right time and leaves the scene before anyone can figure out who and what she really is. Appears vulnerable without behaving to attract attention.
