The patriarch of the Jacksonville commune has died, and taking his place is his mean and narcissistic son, Beau Baxter. Probation officer Gillian Jones is busy with her own life – an impending visit from the father she hasn't seen in twenty years and the unexpected departure of her foster daughter – the last thing she needs is the added burden of keeping Beau on the right side of the law. When Gillian's courthouse nemesis, Dot, accuses Beau of forcing her sister, Grace, to stay in Jacksonville against her will, Gillian agrees to an unannounced probation visit. While Dot is with Grace, Gillian hears the rifle shot that ends Beau's life. As the clues mount and the past reveals itself, Gillian is desperate to catch a killer before the murderer strikes again.
