Veteran police reporter Brock Andrews returns from vacation to find two mysterious deaths have occurred in his small town. A photographer is found in his home with his head bashed in, and the family of a recovering auto accident victim is baffled by their husband and father's sudden death in the hospital. Was it accident, suicide or murder? While conducting his own investigations, Brock has to avoid treading on the territory of his fiancee and local cop Sgt. Danielle (Danny) Morgan, offer guidance to rookie reporter Jeni Jermaine, placate a new editor, and work around a publisher too timid to let his reporters tell the truth.
