For a small-town sheriff, Lacey Nelson has encountered more than her fair share of unexplained deaths.

Not a fan of ghost stories, Lacey seeks out rational explanations for each case that crosses her desk – until the day a meth-addicted troublemaker shows up, begging her deputies to protect him from his nine-year-old son.
