Sheriff Mickey Fox’s life in Sheriff Country has never been easy. As a small-town sheriff, she constantly balances her job with family problems.

Recently, her daughter Skye became the main suspect in a murder case. This forced Mickey to step aside from her official duties and investigate the case on her own. Loyalties were tested and secrets came to light as the investigation unfolded.

Skye’s partial honesty made the situation more complicated. She had bought the knife linked to her boyfriend’s death just before the police searched their home.
