A true crime podcast recounts the murder of a pregnant secretary, Marlene Hayes, in the small town of Lameisa, Texas. The investigation initially focuses on her husband and Sheriff Willie Carlin, with whom Marlene was having an affair. A surprising twist reveals that a jealous coworker, Brenda Foster, who also had a past relationship with the Sheriff, is the likely perpetrator. Ultimately, Sheriff Carlin is convicted of Marlene's murder, motivated by the fear of his affair becoming public. In a final twist, Brenda Foster gains custody of Marlene's baby and later marries Carlin in prison.
