- Synopsis
- When big-city detective Sharon Myers moves back to her small hometown, it's not long before she finds herself tangled in a web of deceit, adultery, and cold-blooded murder. As she works to solve an unlikely murder, she gets a glimpse behind the idyllic, facade of “small-town America”, finding illicit affairs, passionate jealousies, and systemic racism - as well as evidence that points to her lover, but also leads directly back… to her. Some think Sharon is a brilliant detective out to catch a murderer. Others think she's trying to get away with murder herself.
