  Summary

  In January '95 Detective Rustin Cohle meets Winifred Sellick, a theology student called in to give out an assisting dictum in the latest "ritual occult murder" case for the Louisiana State CID. Through the years they end up colliding over and over and over again and turning each other's hunger and haunt inside out. Will they learn to accept that time is not one, but two flat circles interlacing?
