Every murder has a story.
Every story begins at home.
Tampa newscaster Tori Younger is saddened to learn her childhood friend, Brooke Martin, hung herself from the old water tower in their hometown. Tori hasn't spoken to Brooke in years and doesn't feel comfortable returning to attend the services. Then cryptic text messages from Brooke's cellphone change her mind.
Attending the funeral, Tori confronts a past that still haunts her and questions the text messages haunting her now. Her investigation leads to a fact she suspected all along: her old friend didn't commit suicide but was murdered. There's no shortage of suspects either: Brooke's angry husband who instigated a fight the night she died; Brooke's high school principal who denies rumors they were having an affair; and a town sheriff who shares a stormy past with Tori and is blocking her investigation at every turn. The only witness appears to be Brooke's five-year-old daughter who hasn't spoken since the tragedy and continually draws the same graphic picture of the night her mother's body was discovered hanging from that old water tower.
Tori knows one of them has Brooke's cellphone and is texting her from it. Others are convinced it's Brooke reaching out from the Great Beyond. Either way, someone from her past is playing a deadly game of Hangman.
