Jesse Stone is just relishing another win with his softball team when he discovers a girls body facedown in a nearby lake. Before long it becomes clear that the girl had a taste for the wild life; her own parents cant be bothered to report her missing, or even admit that she was once their child. All Jesse has to go on is a young mans school ring on a gold chain, and a hunch or two.
