The town's worst fears are confirmed when Margaret's body is discovered in the river, horrifyingly tied to her own bicycle. The shocking nature of her murder leaves the community in mourning and fear, as whispers of a killer lurk in the air.

Attention turns to Nathan Redfield, the sociopathic son of the town's banker, who exhibits increasingly suspicious behavior. His cold demeanor and ulterior motives raise alarm bells among investigators, who delve deeper into his background.

It becomes clear that Nathan has devised a sinister plan to murder the entire Larkin family to acquire their petroleum-rich property. His ruthless ambition drives him to coldly calculate each step needed to eliminate the family standing in his way.
