Rainie Connor joins the police force in the small town of Bakersville, Oregon, because she longs for a relatively peaceful existence. But when a Columbine-style high-school massacre takes place in the town, its peacefulness is shattered. It seems like an open-and-shut case: the chief suspect, a disgruntled student, is found at the scene holding two guns. But Rainie quickly begins to suspect that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Attractive FBI agent Pierce Quincy helps her investigate.
