The sleepy Wisconsin village of Oak Cliff lies in the shadows of towering limestone cliffs. Its century-old charm and the mystique of a legend involving tons of lost Civil War gold make the town a popular tourist destination. Attracted by the village’s relaxed lifestyle, ex-Chicago cop Nick Garrett, moves north and assumes the role of police chief, looking for a quieter way of life away from relentless big city crime.

When a prominent Oak Cliff resident is murdered, Nick and the entire town are shocked and looking for answers. As the investigation unfolds, Nick quickly learns not everything in his peaceful village is as it seems. He wonders if the town’s dark past and the legend of the missing gold might be enough to drive someone to kill.
