It's springtime in Hillside, Texas, which means tornado season. A tornado rips through town, damaging property here and there. Fortunately, the damage is reparable, and only one person is found dead-Verna Dixon, an elderly widow who lived on the edge of town.
At first, everyone assumes that Verna was killed by flying debris from the tornado (she was found outside, halfway between her house and her chicken coop) as she was trying to bring her chickens inside. But Detective Ryan Shepherd realizes there's more to this death than meets the eye when he discovers that Verna was not killed by a flying piece of wood, as was originally suspected.
Why would anyone want to kill Verna? That's the question bothering Ryan and Heather. There's no apparent motive, and no one knows seems to know where to begin looking for suspects.
Did Verna know something about someone she was trying to decide whether or not to reveal? What could Verna have known?

The police think it looks like a drug deal gone bad, but Gustavo's family insists he never would have been involved with drugs. Maricela and Angelica beg Heather to investigate, and she promises to do what she can.
When she discovers that the shooter's story couldn't have taken place the way he said it did, she becomes suspicious. But she has no proof. Then, just as a key witness is about to provide her with the evidence she needs, the witness is murdered in an apparent armed robbery.
