It's early October, 1974. The leaves are falling and Amy Parker has something to prove. Packing up her entire life, and her cat, she moves to Boulder, Colorado to pursue a career in journalism, covering the rise of serial killers all over the country. She's hopeful that this new life will somehow help her to heal from the brutal murder of her sister and the tragic death of her mother. She finds herself a job, a few new friends, and even a fine young man who lights a spark in her that she hasn't felt in years. Her new life is everything she's ever wanted and it's not until the story of a lifetime lands right in her lap does she finally get her big break. But she'll soon find out that sometimes you can work yourself to death.
