## Profile

As a teen, Kevyn Tan attended Wiskayok High School, the same school which produced the highly successful WHS Yellowjackets soccer team that would become stranded in the wilderness of Canada for 19 months. He was Natalie's best friend, one of the players on the team. He would sometimes come over to hang out and the two would discuss their shared love of bands such as Nirvana, though Kevyn had begun to sour on Nirvana due to them "going mainstream." One day, the two of them were discovered by Natalie's abusive father, who called Natalie a slut and tried to attack Kevyn, though he was able to get away. Natalie's father then turned his wrath on her and her mother before accidentally killing himself with a gun.

25 years later, Kevyn is divorced from his wife, has a young son named Mason, and is working as a detective. Natalie, meanwhile, became enamored with a boy named Travis during her time in the woods. Their paths unexpectedly cross when Kevyn encounters Natalie together with Misty Quigley, another player from the WHS Yellowjackets, at a bar. Although he tries to talk with Natalie, she doesn't seem to want to have much to do with him. Later, however, Natalie and Misty are arrested when they break into the current residence of Travis, who has gone underground, as they investigate the circumstances surrounding a strange postcard they have received. Misty contacts Kevyn, pretending to be Natalie, and gets him to bail them out. They then proceed to Travis's workplace, the Willow Brook Ranch, only to find him dead from an apparent suicide, though Natalie is convinced it isn't suicide.

Determined to find out if Travis was using when he died, Natalie arranges a meeting with Kevyn under the guise of still being interested in him. After softening him up, she convinces him to get her the details on Travis's toxicology report. Later, still wanting more, Natalie leverages Misty to use a contact of hers to break into Kevyn's e-mail, obtaining photos of the autopsy and other information. Following this, Kevyn arrives at Natalie's place, hoping to spend some time with her. The two end up attending his son Mason's soccer game, where Natalie gives him a tip that helps him to win.

Following this, Natalie begins sleeping with Kevyn. Unknown to either of them, they are spied on by Misty Quigley, who has installed a hidden camera in Natalie's place in the hopes of obtaining information on a person who is blackmailing Natalie and fellow Yellowjackets Shauna and Taissa, demanding $50,000 or else he'll reveal their secrets. Meanwhile, Natalie joins Shauna and Taissa in hatching a plan to catch the blackmailer and takes Kevyn's gun for insurance. Their plan to catch the blackmailer goes awry and Natalie tries to fire a shot at him, but her shot goes wild due to the intervention of Taissa, who worries that they will all be sent away for murder. Afterwards, Natalie returns home, where Kevyn is still sleeping in her bed. When he awakes, however, he discovers the missing bullet in his gun. He confronts Natalie, explaining that he has to account for every bullet and demanding that she tell him what happened. She lies that she was playing with the gun in a park and it accidentally went off. He tells her to take her to show where it ended up, but she claims that she doesn't remember. At this, he states that he thought they had something, but she tells him that his "schoolboy-crush" was cute, but they were only having sex. He curses her and leaves.

Kevyn, now dating another woman, encounters Natalie studying a memorial at the 25th anniversary reunion of the Wiskayok High School class of 1996. As she stares at a picture of Travis, he comments that he wishes he could say he remembered him better and Natalie says that the two of them were a lot alike. He asks if this is because they both once loved her and she comments to herself that he really killed himself. He says that he knows and tells to take care of herself and that he hopes she finds whatever it is she really needs.

Not long following this, Kevyn turns his attention to Shauna, whom has fallen under suspicion in the disappearance of an artist named Adam Martin. He comes to Shauna's house, asking what she knows about him. When she claims to have barely known him, he reveals the police have records of dozens of texts between the two of them. She then claims that this is because the two of them got in an accident and she had to get aggressive to get him to pay up. She is, however, lying, as the two of them were in fact, having an affair which ultimately culminated in her killing him in a heat-of-the-moment act, believing him to be the individual who was blackmailing the Yellowjackets.

Back at the office, Kevyn receives a report from his partner, Matt Saracusa, who tells him that he followed Shuana's daughter, Callie, spent two hours with her at a bar, and learned that Shauna was having an affair. He suggests that they bring Shauna in right now. Kevyn tells him to slow things down, reminding him that they're not undercover on the case and saying that Shauna is smart and they need more. In response, Matt accuses him of being too close to the case, having gone to school with Shauna. Kevyn, however, reminds him that he's only been on the job a year, saying that he needs to be careful or else he's going to mess things up.

Later, while at the gym, Kevyn is confronted by Shauna's husband, Jeff. Jeff acts angry, telling him that he upset Shauna, questioning her the way that they did. In response, Kevyn tells him that they have reason to believe that Shauna was having an affair. He tells him he's sorry to have to be the one to tell him this, but Jeff acts disbelieving, saying he knows his wife and that she wouldn't have an affair. He tells Kevyn that he feels sorry for the guy that's out there missing, since they're acting on bad intel. Back at home, however, he tells Shauna that the police know about the affair.

Kevyn joins his partner on a stakeout of the motel where Randy Walsh, Jeff's best friend, has been living for at least a couple months following a breakup with his wife, Tammy. Callie has told Matt that Shauna is having an affair with Randy, but Matt is skeptical, believing that this is just a cover for Shauna's real affair with Adam. After Shauna and Randy have both left, the two of them enter to investigate at Matt's urging, despite Kevyn reminding Matt that evidence is inadmissible without a warrant. When they discover an empty condom, Kevyn asks Matt if it's enough for him, ready to leave. Matt, however, sniffs the condom and discovers that Randy actually filled it with strawberry lotion. He tells Kevyn that this means that Shauna only wanted them to think that she was having an affair with Randy. Kevyn tells him that Callie intentionally gave him bad info and it means that he's been made, but Matt replies that Callie may be good, but he's better.

Not long after this, the remains of Adam Martin are discovered at a local park. Shauna is officially declared a suspect in the investigation, deemed almost certainly a murder due to the gruesome way in which Adam Martin's body was dismembered. Kevyn and Matt obtain a search warrant to search the Sadecki household, but when they arrive, they find that Shauna is not there, Jeff claiming that she is at a spa with girlfriends. They confront Jeff with photos of Adam's dismembered body, telling him that it was butchered in an almost surgical manner. Jeff replies that there's no way that Shauna could have done this, that she's no doctor, but they point out that Shauna has certain "survival skills" that might lend themselves to this. Kevyn tells Jeff that he knows Shauna his wife, but he has to level with him that this is really messed up, asking him if he really thought that Shauna could be capable of this. Jeff, however, refuses to say anything more without a lawyer.

Kevyn and Matt tail Jeff and Callie to Camp Green Pine, an "intentional community" run by Charlotte "Lottie" Matthews, another of the Yellowjackets survivors. While Matt heads off to look for Callie, Kevyn investigates the community's kitchen area and comes across Walter Tattersall. Seeing him, Walter asks how he got in and tells him he's calling the police. Kevyn, however, tells him that he is the police, and Walter expresses excitement at the idea of him being a detective, telling him that he's a citizen detective. He offers him hot cocoa, which he accepts. He says he can guess why he's there, bringing Shauna's name into the conversation and telling him it's not just Shauna that's there, but a "whole coven" that's all up to no good.

As they continue their conversation, Jeff, who is with Callie, observes them talking together. He sends Callie away, telling her that he has a plan, and goes to to the two. He confronts Kevyn, asking if he followed them there, and Kevyn tells him it was only because he wouldn't tell them where Shauna was. "You mind?" asks Jeff and Walter leaves the room. Jeff tells Kevyn that he wants him to place him under arrest. He claims that he was the one who murdered Adam Martin, that it was a crime of passion after he found out that Shauna was sleeping with him. "Jesus," swears Kevyn and Jeff continues that he did it to protect his family. As he is saying this, Kevyn suddenly and unexpectedly falls over backwards.

Jeff swears wildly, examining Kevyn's body and wondering what just happened. As he does so, Walter reappears, telling him, "Hi, me again!" "I-I didn't," mutters Jeff. "Phenobarbital," Walter tells him, saying that it's surprisingly fast acting. He introduces himself as being a friend of Misty Quigley and tells him that he gave a beautiful false confession. He suggests that Jeff help him move the body, telling him that everything's going to be fine.

Using a voice sampling app, Walter then lures Kevyn's partner, Matt. He tells Matt that he's giving him a choice, that the Wiskayok police force will be impressed when they learn that their new recruit nearly lost his life uncovering a police corruption scandal. He tells him that when they dig in, they'll discover a wealth of evidence connecting Kevyn to the murder of Adam Martin, the investigation of which he was trying to impede, and also to the death of Jessica Roberts, a known political operative. He tells Matt that he'll be a real hero to the community, unless he'd prefer that all of the bank and phone records linked to him instead. He later reports to Misty, telling her that he's taken care of the Adam Martin situation, but Misty is too upset to care, having just accidentally killed Natalie.
