Every story has a narrator. Not all of them survive. Detective Lawson buried the case years ago. Her partner’s murder was never solved—and some part of her stopped trying. Until Dead Air, a popular true crime podcast, launches a new season focused entirely on the cold case.

The host? A sharp-tongued former attorney with a knack for exposing corruption—and a tangled past with the investigation itself. When the podcaster vanishes mid-season, Lawson is left with more questions than answers. With the reluctant help of Claire—an attorney still haunted by her own secrets—and Claire’s sister Fiona, a relentless journalist, Lawson starts peeling back layers of half-truths and long-buried evidence. What they uncover isn’t just a cover-up… it’s a rewriting of reality.

Memories blur. Motives shift. And just when Lawson thinks she’s found the person behind it all, the real danger reveals itself. Because the killer isn’t the one telling the story. It’s the one who’s been helping her write it.
