Prologue:
"Are you, are you, coming to the tree?"
The father said deviously to his children and wife.
"They strung up a man, they said who murdered three."
But they executed the wrong man.
"Strange things have happened here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight, in the hanging tree."
Where we can all rest peacefully for eternity.
"Are you, are you, coming to the tree. Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me. Strange things had happened here, no stranger would it be, if we met at midnight, in the hanging tree."
Description:
A man goes crazy and murders his family, hanging them for public display on the tree before hanging himself as well.
But what happens when the town gets involved and the investigation is somehow sabotaged and the signs of who the murderer might be, strangely point to the innocent citizens of the town?
