Cari Turnlyle was recently promoted from the sports column to a front-page journalist at the Brenington Beagle. She had been enjoying her success until a wealthy member of the community calls her writing drivel. The man, Frederick Kastener, is outraged when no one investigates his daughter's death in a collision that by all accounts seems to be accidental. Well-connected both socially and financially, Kastener throws his weight around to get the case a second look. Cari knew Jade Kastener as a happy-go-lucky young woman, so when an eyewitness of the collision claims that she was crying, Cari is hooked. Convinced that the younger Kastener was drugged, she uses her resources to find the answers. She is determined to not cross boundaries in her friendships, but calls on the help of her detective-friend, Genevieve Viacorte to combine their efforts. When another person dies under suspicious circumstances, Cari is convinced that the deaths are related. The medical examiner disagrees and finds both deaths to be accidental. As Cari digs in, personal matters distract her from staying focused. Her editor is demanding that she buckle down and put the pieces together, while a visit from her parents looms on the horizon. Can she live up to everyone's expectations by solving the case and balancing her parents' wishes?

Continually bombarded with red flags, Addison starts to wonder if she's gotten in over her head. While Strydent is pushing to get his treatment into the last phase of a clinical trial, Addison feels like she is racing against time to piece together the clues he leaves in his wake.
