The Sinner Season 3 Plot Explained 

Season 3 starts with detective Harry Ambrose being summoned at a car crash, where the driver was killed. A survivor from the car crash Jame Burns (Matt Bomer) reveals that the person who died was his friend Nick Hass. What really happened was there were some unresolved conflicts between Jamie and Nick and it was Jamie who had caused the car crash. The detectives suspected as much but had no proof to charge Jamie. 

As the detectives start their investigation they find evidence that Nick and Jamie had met 2 weeks prior to the accident and find out ever since this meeting, Jamie had started acting differently. They track down Jamie's friends and colleagues and collect their statements. This is where the story gets bizarre. Jamie's friend Sophia from New York introduces him to a psychic who tells Jamie that part of Nick still lives inside of him.

To save his life Harry burns up Jamie's confession statement and tells him he won't go after Jamie, all the while recording the conversation. Things turn ugly again as Jamie finds out Harry betrayed him and he goes after Harry's family. Harry Ambrose shoots him and comes to the realisation that he has become what he most fears, a killer, and Jamie dies in his arms.
