Former deputy Jake Oakes is adjusting to life as a paraplegic after being shot by a drug dealer and Bell’s sister, Shirley, died a year ago from lung cancer.\u003cbr\u003e But one thing hasn’t changed: the crime and desperation afflicting this small Appalachian community. No one knows this more than Brent and Linda Topping, whose calm and steady world has been upended by the drug addiction of their 19-year-old son, Jeff. First Brent is murdered by his son's suppliers. And then, wracked with guilt over his father’s death, Jeff calls his mother on the brink of suicide. She rushes to his aid only to be shot in the head in what Jeff describes as a mixup. But Bell and the local authorities aren’t so sure he’s innocent. \u003cbr\u003e As Sheriff Pam Harrison and Prosecutor Rhonda Lovejoy unravel the mystery, they are joined by an unlikely pair of allies: Jake Oakes, who has begrudgingly channeled his anger at his physical limitations into a clerical job at the courthouse; and Bell Elkins.
