He had a daughter. As Cassidy and Shawn start to become closer once again, suspicious things start happening. Old faces start to reappear and new ones are introduced. With the help of Psychic Detective Shawn Spencer, can Cassidy solve their daughter's murder?

Prequel to Coping- Cassidy Reed always lived by the strict rules of her father. Before her father arrives home from the military, Cassidy meets a troublesome boy named Shawn Spencer who slowly brings her out of her shell. Slowly, Cassidy starts to develop feelings for him, feelings she never knew she had. But when Cassidy's father arrives home unexpectedly, things become a little more complicated for the two. Cassidy's father doesn't approve of Shawn and refuses to have those two together and forces her to break all ties with the troublesome boy in fear that all the hard work Cassidy has put into her sharpshooting and defensive training will go to waste, but Cassidy refuses to listen and begins to go against her father's wishes.
