In the shimmering lights of Las Vegas in 1982, Nancy Reynolds, a persistent journalist, found herself lost amidst the glitz and glamour of a city that thrived on spectacle. Her byline, usually confined to the lighter side of news, struggled to carve a space in an industry dominated by sensationalism.

One evening, as the neon glow of the Strip painted the room, Nancy stumbled upon a news report that sparked an unexpected fire within her. St. Louis, a city miles away but suddenly relevant, flashed across the screen. Two young lives extinguished, the circumstances mysterious, and the local police clueless. The urgency in the reporter's voice and the enigma of the crime scene stirred something profound in Nancy.

Driven by a newfound determination, she presented the idea of covering the St. Louis mystery to her editor, a proposition met with skepticism. "You've never handled something this big, Nancy," her editor cautioned. Undeterred, she pleaded her case, offering to fund the venture herself if necessary. A reluctant agreement granted her permission, with little expectation of success.

Armed with conviction and a one-way ticket, Nancy boarded a plane bound for St. Louis. Unbeknownst to her, this seemingly routine assignment would unravel a mystery that transcended not only her journalistic aspirations but also the very fabric of time and truth.
