But her secure, charmed married life starts to unravel when a woman’s body is discovered floating in Lake Crosby, right outside their home.

But surely there’s an innocent reason behind his lies. The victim, Sienna, was a true crime reporter, investigating an unsolved missing persons case that happened decades before and turned into a local urban legend.
