Summary

Sydney, Nova Scotia, 1992 When 18 year old McDonald's employee Derek Wood finished his shift, he lingered for a time in the closed restaurant before exiting. Unknown to the staff remaining to complete overnight tasks, Derek had propped open a basement door and in a matter of moments he would return with two friends armed with knives, a shovel, and a gun. The resulting robbery gone wrong will lead to mass murder and an entire community struggling to understand how this could happen and who was responsible. During this series, the story will be told by retired journalist Phonse Jessome who led the local reporting at the time of the crime and wrote the bestselling book on the case 'Murder at McDonald's'.
