Near-fatal accidents would scare some reporters, but a bullet to the chest doesn't stop Dyani Sexius from hunting for the truth in her corruption-laden community in the US Virgin Islands.  Worse, when tragedy strikes and the Governor is murdered in front of dozens of people. Unsatisfied with the results of the investigation, she digs deeper to find out why he was murdered and more importantly, by who. But her quest for answers shows her how close is too close and that what's paradise for tourists is hell for locals.
