It's March 1994 and Laura Benton is still working as a music journalist. But she's married now, living in West Seattle, and the mother of a son who's about to reach his first birthday. Life is crazy, and it takes a much darker turn after she interviews a broken-down minor country star named Carson Mack. She's sucked in to helping him find the killer of the son he never knew, who was murdered four years before on a Seattle street. It's a search that quickly becomes terrifying—and deadly—as the threats to Laura, and her family, grow.
