Falk discovers the word 'grant?' on the back of the library receipt, leading Falk to suspect that Ellie's brother, Grant Dow, wants to purchase the family's farm once it goes on the market due to Luke's parents being unable to keep it. Falk and Raco discover that McMurdo was spotted upon CCTV footage. Falk interviews Scott Whitlam, the principal of the local school and Karen's boss, who explains that although she was struggling to gather funding for the school, she didn't seem to have any troubles.
They discover that the bullets used in the crime were Remingtons while Luke only owned Winchesters, indicating that the killer used different ammunition to what the family owned. With the help of the local sergeant Greg Raco, he begins to look into the events. Falk and his father had been forced to leave town to avoid harassment from Ellie's ruthless father. Falk had been immediately suspected for the death, as he had given her a note that day asking her to meet at the river, only for her not to show and later be found by her father and police, drowned in the river. Falk is continuously harassed by the townspeople, following the now twenty-year-old death of 17-year-old Ellie Deacon, a close friend of his with whom he had been romantically involved.
At the persuasion of Luke's parents, Falk reluctantly agrees to stay and investigate the circumstances of the crime. Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns to his home town Kiewarra after an absence of over twenty years to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, Luke, who allegedly killed his wife Karen and child Billy (sparing baby daughter Charlotte) before taking his own life.
