True-crime podcaster Jess Keeler has returned to Deeton County, North Carolina, to pick up where her grandfather left off. Sheriff's Deputy Big Jim Ballard, her grandfather, was a respected detective - until it all came crashing down during a 1972 murder investigation. Working from her grandfather's disjointed notes, Jess is sure that she can finally put the cold case - and her family's shame - to rest. Soon Jess discovers ugly truths about the first investigation, which was shaped by corruption, egos, and a family secret that may be the key to the crime.
