River Crossing, Carolina, is our fictionalized community deep in the American South. This is a three-cop town. Here the population comprises upper-class landowners and lower-middle-class farmers and their families. All of the inhabitants in River Crossing can trace their roots back to this land for hundreds of years. A place lost in time, and last Friday night, between 9:45 pm - 10 pm, the most influential person in town was murdered.
