A year out of high school and still working in his family’s apple orchard, Chuck yearns for a life of adventure. Suddenly, as if in answer to his prayers, he is offered the job of reporting on a high profile murder case. He works tirelessly to to do the ‘best job’ possible in this, his first real assignment. He finds it difficult to get people to talk about what they know. What he uncovers will lead him to a new understanding of his Michigan community, his family and the devastation of secrets.
