Will and Sarah are now married and on a honeymoon set up by Will near a camp that held memories for him from his days in the foster care system. He was never able to go there but always wanted to. The resort he chose to is near that same property. The old camp has been defunct for a number of years. The story involves the death of one of the owner/operators. This family is dysfunctional to the max. I don’t know that I have ever been more disgusted by a mother than I have with this mom. The other family members are just as bad or nearly so with the exception of the victim. Man oh man is she a victim. What a miserable life she endured. Was Will and his team able to find justice for her? Read it to find out. What an ending.
