Lacey's new client, Patti, comes to her in a panic because her Aunt Agnes is missing. Patti calls Sheriff Ben stupid for refusing to investigate. Is Patti lying? The case gets more weird when Agnes's body is found, her nasty nephew and brother and his girlfriend arrive, and Patti begins dating Agnes' lawyer.
Though Ben and even her trucker fiance, Paul, want her to drop the case, Lacey continues searching for the truth. Someone else doesn't want her snooping, either. When threats and intimidation don't work, she's kidnapped. Will she survive to solve this case?
