On a normal day in October of 2006 in an upscale suburb of Olympia, Washington, police officers walked up to the front door of an exclusive-looking home in a high-end neighborhood. They were looking for a 33-year-old married mother of one named Mechele Linehan. Mechele was your typical suburban housewife; she held sleepovers for her daughter, was active in the church, and hosted a weekly pizza night for the neighbors and their kids. But that was all a facade, because police had come to arrest the seemingly innocent soccer mom that day. She was wanted for murder in The Great State of Alaska from a decade before.

10 years earlier, Mechele Linehan, formerly Mechele Hughes, was a stripper at The Great Alaskan Bush Company in Anchorage, Alaska, and that is where she met Kent Leppink. And Scott Hilke. And John Carlin. All three men fell hopelessly in love with the young stripper, and all three proposed. This led to an unbelievable love quadrangle in which all four lived together, along with John Carlin's teenage son. But soon enough, the love quadrangle crumbled, and greedy Mechele set her sights on some insurance money she had wrapped up in a policy taken out on unassuming and naiive Kent. Shortly thereafter, all four individuals would be wrapped up in a murder mystery involving broken hearts, broken promises and even a letter from beyond the grave.
