Meet Audrey Lord—a tenacious, sharp-witted journalist whose insatiable curiosity often lands her in trouble.
Audrey never intended to return to Bennington, but here she is—two decades later, with a husband, two kids, and a job at The Gazette in the Bayside town she once couldn’t wait to leave.
Frustrated by the monotony of local news—and stung by a daughter who thinks she’s “sold out”—Audrey jumps at any story with the promise of real investigative grit. With her husband away on an oil rig, her support comes from her quirky office family: Donna, a tech-savvy whiz, and Stan, her calm and steady colleague. But Audrey’s ambitions often clash with her politically shrewd editor, Eve, who’s warned her about stepping over the line.
Can Audrey navigate the politics of a small-town newspaper with big ambitions? More importantly, can she uncover the truth behind local murders without endangering herself—and those she loves?
