When Kimberly decides that she doesn't want any more families going through what she is, she does the only thing she can think of - she breaks notorious convict Quinn Deupre out of jail. Quinn Deupre is the younger brother of detective Wyatt Deupre, ironic isn't it? Quinn was sent to jail for being part of a major drug deal. He claimed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but was sent to jail anyways. Who knows? Perhaps he actually is innocent? However, when Kimberly McClain breaks him out of jail with two conditions, he isn't complaining. Will Kimberly find out who the killer is with the help of Quinn? Or will the case labeled 'Where She Lies' remain unsolved?
