After her bosses put undue pressure on her to pay the claim quickly, she is convinced foul play is at work and begins a clandestine investigation. She discovers that Powers was not the pillar of the community he was cracked up to be but, rather, a controlling abusive husband who died in questionable circumstances, and she suspects this may not be the first such case her company has settled. As she delves deeper, innocent people begin to die and Kiara finds herself in dangerous territory. Torn between protecting her own family and uncovering whoever is behind the killings, she faces an impossible choice and will have to confront her greatest fears.
