Is her best friend a murderer? When the owner of the local Mexican restaurant is found dead face down in a plate of nachos, Tilly Bordeaux, the reporter for the Tri-Town Times, is on the job. As she dives into the life of the deceased, she uncovers seedy behavior, lies and fraud. Even though the list of those who wanted the man dead is long, the sheriff, up for reelection, is focused exclusively on Tilly's best friend, Carla, as the main suspect. Tilly has no choice but to search for the true killer herself... before her friend is sent to prison for a crime she didn't commit.
