One of their own becomes a target...
A voice on the phone says Jennifer's best friend has tragically died in a fall at a national park. Her certainty that it was no accident starts TV reporter Elizabeth Danniher, with friends Mike, Tom and Diana plus the rest of the Caught Dead in Wyoming crew, on an investigation that moves faster - and closer to them - than any of them could ever expect. They've barely had time to catch their breath since the events of Cold Open and now one of their own becomes a target as they race time and a murderer before this Hot Roll burns them all.
... In TV news, Hot Roll can simply mean cutting away from an interview to "b-roll" (scene-setting footage) ... or it can mean the adrenaline-pumping drama of broadcasting live because there's no time to do anything else. Mix in murder, a little humor, a trace of romance, and you're on your way with the Caught Dead in Wyoming sleuths for another great adventure.
