Tomβs death continues to cast a long shadow. The official explanation β a drug overdose β doesnβt sit right with Deacon. Despite the autopsy results, Deacon, refusing to accept the painful truth, launches his own investigation.
He meticulously examines Tomβs life, interviewing everyone from acquaintances to strangers. His investigation leads him to Poppy and Luna, whose behavior surrounding Tomβs death seems suspicious. Deacon starts piecing together a different story: Tomβs demise might be more sinister than a simple overdose.
Driven by a thirst for justice, Deacon delves deeper, facing hurdles at every turn. Poppy, terrified of Tomβs secret β the truth about Lunaβs parentage β hatches a plan. She intends to frame Tom as a drug addict, rendering his accusations about Luna meaningless.
Poppyβs plan involves slowly feeding Tom drugs, hoping to turn him into a discredited addict. This way, no one would believe his claims. However, things spiral out of control. Tom succumbs to an overdose, an unintended consequence that throws Poppy into a panic.
While Tomβs death removes a potential threat, it also makes Poppy a prime suspect. The police, noticing inconsistencies, begin to investigate Poppy. Witnesses place her at the scene, further tightening the noose. Poppy, facing the music for her actions, must scramble to erase any trace of her involvement before the truth buries her.
