WATCH TRAILER
When a woman writes to food columnist Tannie Maria about her abusive husband and is later found dead, Maria and rookie journalist Jessie refuse to let the case go cold. Determined to uncover the truth, they dig into their town’s dark underbelly, where secrets fester and suspects multiply. But as they get closer to answers, danger looms. With a killer watching their every move, Maria and Jessie must race against time to expose the truth—before they become the next victims.
