Summary

This week, in Moorhead, Minnesota, when a nice young woman is found on a rural farm, murdered in multiple ways, many questions arise. Mainly, how did she end up there, and who could've possibly done this horrible thing? Suspicions fall on couple with problems, that includes a woman, who writes stories about herself using a glamorous alter ego, and her motel clerk husband. Detectives think maybe the young lady knew too much about the couple, but the couple has very different versions of what happened. Will a certain law allow them to keep quiet, and cover for each other??

Along the way, we find out that bonding over karaoke is seemingly a dangerous way to make friends, that a fantasy life has a tendency to get out of control, and that there is no reason to kill a person in three different ways!!
