Do you think you could tell the difference between murder and suicide?
Detective Charlie McClung has had a long, successful career in the police force, but he wants more from life than crime and death. He moves to a small town for a simpler life. It turns out his first case is the most complicated of his career.
A young woman is killed, and the chief of police rules it suicide without an investigation. But the dead woman's beautiful neighbor and his gut tell him something entirely different.
As McClung discovers secrets never meant to be found, he quickly finds himself with more trouble than ever imagined. Can he solve the case before losing everything important to him, his life, and his newfound love?
