The body of a child is discovered in the small town. Kyle Timler is suspected of being the murderer, but the evidence is missing. Since the local police do not have the personnel resources for an extensive observation of Timler, Pulasky, who is the same age, should befriend Timler. Her colleague Will McCaid, whom she also gets closer to in private, takes up the discussions and monitors the action.
