Relocating back to her hometown of Auckland, Alexa is called upon by Detective Harry Henare to investigate the case of Tamara Innes (Robyn Malcolm), a fabric shop owner accused of a "stranger" murder. One morning, Tamara appears to have awoken and shot local entrepreneur Michael Suzmann for no apparent reason whilst he was out running. Harry suspects the case isn't as open-and-shut as it seems, and Alexa appears faced with an impossible puzzle to solve.
