The thirty-one member Young family gathers every year to spend spring break camping and riding the mountain bike trails around Moab, Utah.In the spring of 2012 twenty-six-year-old David stops his mountain bike for a water break on a single-track section of the Slickrock Bike Trail. Several family members stop in a single file line behind him. Suddenly a small boulder rolls down a dome and knocks David's wife, Bree-Lynn, off the trail, and she falls five hundred feet to her death.Grand County Deputy Sheriff Craig Kerrigan investigates the case, learns David had a life insurance policy on Bree-Lynn, and wonders why David stopped on the most dangerous section of the Slickrock. When the Sheriff forbids Kerrigan from questioning other Young family members and orders him to remove his 'murder' conclusion from his official report of Bree-Lynn's death, Kerrigan uses his brother's business computer to send a confidential email to the Jupiter-Saturn Insurance Corporation.The insurance company sends Private Investigator Dan Ballantine to Moab. He meets with Kerrigan and learns the deputy fears for his job because the Mormons control Grand County.
