  David, a 42-year-old disabled private investigator, returns to his family's dilapidated estate in rural Estonia, a place he escaped years ago to find peace. Haunted by a traumatic childhood marked by abuse and hardship, he is compelled to confront his estranged family, including his manipulative mother, resentful brother, and a host of step-relatives all vying for control of the family's inheritance. The once-grand country house, now a symbol of decay and dysfunction, becomes the stage for a deadly game of deceit and violence. 
  As David delves into the family's dark secrets, he uncovers a web of lies, betrayals, and hidden motives. Each member of his family seems to have something to hide, and the escalating conflict over the inheritance threatens to consume them all. Battling his own physical limitations and psychological scars, David must confront his past trauma and navigate the treacherous landscape of his family's twisted relationships to protect himself and uncover the truth before it's too late. The remote village, steeped in its own history of secrets and grudges, offers no easy answers, and David soon realizes that the greatest danger may come from those he trusts the most.

  🦃 Turkey farmer and heritage breed expert Tom Gobbler is preparing for the town's annual "Turkey Amnesty" charity event when the event's wealthy organizer—a notorious philanthropist with questionable motives—is found dead in the barn, partially stuffed inside a massive heritage turkey. The police suspect a bizarre farming accident, but Tom notices the turkey has been deliberately over-stuffed and the victim's charity records contain coded entries about fund misappropriation. With his farm's reputation on the line and Thanksgiving charity distributions in jeopardy, Tom must pluck through the evidence to uncover the truth. Assisted by his farmhands and the handsome agricultural auditor analyzing financial records, Tom uncovers a scheme involving charity fraud, turkey substitution, and a plot to exploit small farmers. From suspicious giblet packages that reveal bird switching to feeding records that don't match breed standards, every feather tells a story. But when Tom discovers the victim was systematically replacing heritage turkeys with commercial birds while charging premium prices, he realizes the killer is protecting charitable giving more meaningful than any tax deduction. With the charity event approaching and hungry families counting on Thanksgiving meals, Tom must truss up the evidence before his farm gets permanently basted in scandal.
