Bardstown was once called the most beautiful small town in America. Bourbon country. Quiet streets. A place where nothing bad was supposed to happen.

Then came the ambush of Officer Jason Ellis. A year later, the brutal murders of Kathy and Samantha Netherland. Soon after, Crystal Rogers vanished on the Fourth of July.

Three crimes. Three families. One town. No answers.

For years, everything sat in silence. But this summer, something shifted. Trials. Testimony. Secrets rising to the surface.

Part 1 takes us back to where it all began. And it’s only the beginning.
