When former pro football superstar Danny Wellcastle turns up dead at a local farm, Partridgeberry County becomes the focus of an unwanted national spotlight.

Did Danny really die from an accidental fentanyl overdose, as the police are saying? Or was his death connected to the controversy surrounding the millions of dollars at stake in a planned new resort and the discovery of oil on the farm? With a curious media and protestors from all over descending on the peaceful town of Twin Strikes, Split City bowling alley owner Billy Gills will have to maneuver around a reluctant sheriff, a pair of nesting eagles, and an eccentric activist camped in a tree to discover how Danny really died.
