When the ambulance arrives, they are unable to save the driver whose name is Carly Yellowwood. Pete Manstead, Charlevoix Sheriff, asks the pathologist the cause of death. The perplexed pathologist says that while there were no signs of drug use in his autopsy, Carly died of an overdose. Now Pete knows Carly was forced to take those drugs. They are hunting a murderer.
