Description
After a speedboat flies out of a local lake and crashes into a car, Montgomery County, North Carolina, sheriff Sharyn Howard learns her missing assistant's purse was found on board, covered with blood. Although the case is outside her jurisdiction, Howard and her team investigate and find her dazed assistant, Trudy, at the scene when race-car driver Duke Beatty is shot dead. When it looks as if Trudy will be accused of the crime, her husband, one of Sharyn's deputies, quickly confesses to the murder and is arrested. Sharyn believes neither Trudy nor her husband to be guilty, but her efforts to clear them run afoul of a long-term FBI investigation.
