Recovering from a concussion, New York PI, Miles Goodspeed, investigates a suspicious death on a famous director's Vermont film set aided by his disgruntled sidekick, Jackie Woo, a high stakes card dealer. Once he arrives at the Green Mountain state-he finds his work is cut out for him-dealing with the evasive locals and a churlish movie mogul whose innocence he must prove. *** Famous for its idyllic beauty and delicious soft serve maple creemees, scenic Mapleton, Vermont is the perfect remote location for infamous director, Harry Cullin's, new horror film, 'The Darkness'. The second week of production, an accidental death occurs onset prompting Goodspeed's ex-wife, Matilda, a local podcaster, to call in his investigative skills. Powerful politicians would like to brush the suspicious death under the rug and keep production money flowing into Mapleton, but Matilda smells a story brewing that might catapult her to vlogging fame. Out of his element in the pastoral crime scene, Goodspeed only agrees to take the case due to a financial slump caused by his injury. Housed in a rural cabin near the production set with sporadic Wi-fi and erratic cell service, he soon learns the quirky locals have more up their plaid sleeves than tourist traps, fiery town halls, and cornering the maple cremee market. One of them is a murderer.
