Dr. Jill Farrow has at last put the pieces of her and daughter’s lives together after a rancorous divorce. She is set to remarry and her thirteen-year-old, Megan, is a well-adjusted adolescent with a full social calendar.

Abby declares that her father was murdered and implores Jill to aid her in exposing his killer.
