Summary:
"Small-town secrets loom large in this spellbinding rural noir about the aftershocks of crime and trauma that shake a Nebraskan town. In a dusty town in Nebraska’s rugged sandhills, weary sheriff’s deputy Harley Jensen patrols the streets at night, on the lookout for something -- anything -- out of the ordinary.

That and the Reddick family patriarch has decided, decades after authorities ended the search for his murdered boy’s body, to lay a headstone.

ablaze. On the fateful night of the memorial service, Harley tails the youngest Reddick and town miscreant, Paul, through the abandoned farms and homes of their run-down town.

Filled with desperate frustration, Pam is drawn to Harley’s dark history, not unlike that of her husband, Rick -- a man raised in the wreckage of a brother’s violent death and a mother’s hardened fury.
