But the sheriff has a serious situation on his hands: an undercover agent posing as a professor disappears on the same morning a college student is found dead. When Caitlyn learns the missing man is her friend's uncle, and against Ethan's wishes, she insists on helping with the investigation.Meanwhile, Caitlyn's Aunt Myra hears about a different kind of mystery from her friend, retired teacher Verna Adams. Verna is searching for her long-lost brother, who once lived on the abandoned road where the student's body was discovered. As Riverview's town historian uncovers the unsettling truth about Verna's brother, Caitlyn and Ethan defy the town's officials and keep their investigation going-with dangerous consequences.
