Trudell Becket finds herself in a bind when her library is turned into a state-of-the-art bookless 'technological centre.' She decides to rescue the books slated for the recycle centre. Under the cover of darkness, she sets up a secret book room in the basement. When the town councilman, who was a vocal supporter of the tech centre, is crushed by an overturned shelf of DVDs, Trudell becomes the prime suspect. To keep out of jail, Trudell - with the help of readers - must investigate herself. She quickly finds herself on the same page with a killer who would love to write her final chapter.
