Once situated in Heaven's Valley, Ethan doesn't have to look for something to do; it finds him in the form of Courtney Dean. Her husband, Maxwell Dean, the former principal of the local high school was accused of murdering a young girl before taking his own life. Courtney is certain the conclusions of the police officials were false and attempts to hire Ethan, the now retired former NYPD detective to clear her husband's good name. Determined to put his former occupation behind him, Ethan refuses at first to help the widow. However, constant persistence on her part wears Ethan down and he agrees merely to examine the evidence. What he unearths is more than anyone in the sleepy tourist town could ever imagine. The truth will bring to light a cloud of secrecy that the residents of pristine and idyllic Heaven's Valley may never recover from.
