A journalist in a small town continues investigating mysterious deaths at the insistence of a secretive follower, but finds herself targeted by the suspicious widow of a probable victim.

Bree-Anne Carver was granted an internship with the New York Times, but was sent to a small, isolated town in Idaho. She begins a fictional crime blog, but her first subscriber is a mysterious and cruel stranger who insists Bree-Anne use real deaths investigated by local police. After Bree-Anne refuses, a dangerous and confusing rivalry begins between the journalist and the user she dubs "WrongQuestion."

Now, Bree-Anne struggles to think of compelling ideas for her blog. She visits the local library's archive to find inspiration and discovers the mysterious death of inept hunter and survivalist Cody Blaine. The conclusion of his death being a hunting accident doesn't sit well with Bree-Anne, and her elusive follower shares these suspicions and urges her to investigate.

Bree-Anne goes out to the local hunting grounds and follows the directions given to her by the local camp owner. Shockingly, Bree-Anne stumbles across a corpse in a rain-swollen creek. Luckily, Ben Doublinth comes to her rescue and uses his status in town to bail her out when she's arrested for the murder.

Despite the charges being dismissed, Bree-Anne finds another adversary in Hetty Blaine, widow to the late Cody Blaine and beneficiary of his two-million-dollar life insurance policy, who wants to keep his death marked as an accident. To make things even more difficult in proving Hetty's involvement in Cody's death, the widow announces that she's running for mayor – and may gain access of the small town's sizeable budget.
