Family secrets and internal police politics cause trouble for
Sheriff Hank Worth and his Chief Deputy Sheila Turley in this

struggles for control of the investigation and her insubordinate
deputies, Hank is not relaxing as promised. His Aunt Fin is worried
her husband is responsible for the disappearance of one of his
employees, and Hank agrees to investigate. The search for the

Branson county sheriff Hank Worth struggles to uncover the truth
behind a fatal car crash in this absorbing mystery. Hank Worth
thinks he's performed a good deed when he pulls over the car of six
teens caught speeding on a Saturday night and lets them off with a
warning and instructions to go home. When he responds to an urgent
call minutes later, he realises he made a fatal error of judgement
- every teen is dead. Struggling to come to terms with his role in
the crash, Hank begins to suspect foul play. While notifying the
parents of the children involved, his suspicions grow when an
unidentified body is discovered in one of their homes and a teenage
girl is found after apparently attempting to commit suicide. Hank
believes the incidents are connected, but those around him
disagree. Is Hank right, or is his guilt making him search for
answers where there are none?
