A heart attack moves a Pulitzer winning journalist to leave NY for the peace of a small New England town, but he soon finds himself pulled into a case of a man accused of killing his gay lover with the blade of a shovel. Wanting to keep the case quiet, the town turns against the journalist and his family when he begins digging into its secrets, until finally the accused man is found hanging in his cell and the truth comes out about more than just the killing.

A young boy slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.

He's investigating infidelity cases for high school students when he finally lands the first legitimate job he's had in years. Charged with returning a teenage runaway to her equally troublesome mother, he is quickly reminded that nothing will ever come easy for him, and finds his investigation hampered by a difficult suspect, a corrupt cop, and his own ineptitude.
