Two grisly murders shatter the illusion of safety in the sleepy town of Clarkstown. And Christopher Potter, known for his trouble with police, insists he's the one who did it. Just days after pleading guilty in spectacular fashion, he demands an interview with Winston Chronicle reporter Emily O'Brien, who reluctantly agrees to meet with him. The tale he spins brings into question what actually happened that night and whether Potter acted alone – and whether he's really guilty at all. As Emily tries to track down the truth, tragedy strikes close to home, forcing her to evaluate her relationships and her future. But not everyone wants the truth of what happened in Clarkstown to come to light. And someone is willing to kill to keep that secret.
