While the sheriff looks for the rancher’s killer, Steve and his partner Heather bring the family together for the reading of the most peculiar will they’ve ever seen.

Then another murder occurs. Someone wants that land enough to kill for it. With no love lost in this dysfunctional family, any one of them could be the murderer. Or is there a conspiracy afoot? Steve and Heather’s search unearths a long-buried family secret. After Heather is attacked, Steve must identify the murderer before one of them becomes the next victim. Will this family secret solve the mystery…or lead to another murder?
