‘Tracker’ Breaks From Its Trusted Formula for the First Time Since Season 1 | Review
Colter Shaw searches for two missing hikers on the Pacific Divide Trail after a mother and daughter vanish while honouring their late father. The case moves the CBS drama into California’s coastal scenery and introduces storylines that may continue through the season.
The missing women are Leanne and Kayla Reilly; their other daughter, Anya, offers a $15,000 reward. Colter teams up with trail angel Becca to look for them, while also worrying that his brother Russell has not replied to his message. Russell’s absence from the first two episodes is unusual for the series since its first season, leaving their unresolved deal from last season hanging over the story.

Tracker is a CBS drama centred on Colter Shaw, a man who finds missing people in exchange for reward money. Since its debut, the series has followed a consistent format, with each episode presenting Shaw with a fresh case to investigate.
This storyline involves two women—Leanne and Kayla Reilly—who go missing on the Pacific Divide Trail in California whilst honouring their late father. Shaw works alongside Becca, a trail angel, to search for them, whilst also contending with his brother Russell's failure to respond to his messages. The missing women's other daughter, Anya, has posted a £15,000 reward for their safe return.
For the first time since its first season, this case marks a departure from Tracker's established pattern. Russell's absence from these episodes is notably unusual for the show, particularly given an unresolved agreement between the brothers left hanging from the previous season.
