Summary:

On her way to meet her boyfriend's parents, Alison Bergeron has to stop by a local coffee shop to steel her resolve. It's a big event. Not only is it the first time she's met NYPD Detective Bobby Crawford's entire family, but it's also coming on the heels of a wedding proposal that she has left unanswered so far. As she steps into the shop, a fight breaks out between Carter Wilmott, a merciless local blogger, and George Miller, the head of the town's public works and the ostensible target of one of Wilmott's posts. The brawl quickly spirals out of control, and George lands a fatal blow. The case couldn't be anymore simple, and Alison witnessed the whole thing, but when Wilmott's car explodes in the aftermath, what looked to be a straightforward crime of passion becomes something far more complicated and premeditated, and George Miller's wife wants Alison to clear her husband of the charges.
