Synopsis
Love can be a crime.
Reuben has returned to his hometown in order to care for his dying mother. A detective named Selena is investigating a string of jogging path murders. Reuben inadvertently becomes a suspect, who is cautiously cleared. Selena finds herself attracted to him.
The two have much in common. A romance blossoms, while the murders continue, and the case becomes more and more complicated. All the while, Reuben is trying to find out about his father, which is a topic his mother constantly ignores and avoids.
While Reuben searches for his own answers, Selena is searching for herself as well. She left the big city to take a detective position in the small town. Selena wants answers, although she might not be asking the right questions.
Selena has a bad dating history, with baggage to match, and thinks she has found her match in Reuben. However, Reuben keeps popping in and out of the investigation, which clouds Selena’s mind.
Has Selena finally found what she is looking for? Or has she been kissed by a rose?
