🕊️ ➞ Plot Breakdown & Commentary:

After an incident that leaves Paige disgraced in the journalism world, she moved in with her sister, Ashley, and her brother-in-law, Matt. Paige worked as a waitress in Matt’s sports bar as a way to make ends meet. When Ashley approached Paige and encouraged her to look into the mysterious death of one of the town’s teachers that was never solved. The victim, Mrs. Katy, was murdered in a hit-and-run 20 years prior. While doing research, Paige began to follow leads with the intent to begin a podcast as she uncovers the truth.

Paige learned that Mrs. Katy was married with two kids but was suspected by a coworker of having an affair with someone else. Said coworker had no real evidence so Paige called her out for being a lying gossip. Paige was able to eliminate Mr. Katy as a suspect and continued searching for answers.

The universe heard her prayers because Paige was able to solve the case! Unfortunately at the expense of her family.

Turned out that during Matt’s senior year, he had an affair with Mrs. Katy which ended in a pregnancy. Since he was in a committed relationship with Ashley, he didn’t want this to get out so he ran her down after an argument in his car. His uncle helped cover it up and fixed his car. When Matt realized that Paige had uncovered the truth, he held her at gunpoint and begged her to keep this between us. During the standoff, Ashley walked in and actually contemplated letting her husband kill her sister. Ya know… as a way to hold on to her precious life. Before Ashley could decide, Mrs. Katy’s son, Benn, walked in with 911 on the line. They heard everything.

The audio story ended with Matt awaiting trial, Ash taking his side, kicking Paige out, and Ben decided to join Paige in her endeavor to use the podcast to solve cold cases.
