Mick Winchester, a hardened detective in a quiet town, is unsettled by the arrival of a new reality‑TV series, ‘Killing Time,’ produced by his ex‑collegiate sweetheart Caroline Lamb.

The two must navigate their lingering feelings while the show’s premise—a murder mystery—threatens to become more than just entertainment when a real body appears on set. Their professional and personal lives collide as press and network executives push for ratings, forcing Mick and Caroline to confront both the true nature of attraction and the dangers of reality television.
The story examines the tension between authentic connections and the manufactured drama of media, contrasting the heart of a small community with the glitzy demands of Hollywood production.
