An idyllic day of snowshoeing with Joey Strade on Grampy’s land turns out to be less than idyllic when 13-year old super sleuth Ingrid Levin-Hill stumbles upon a corpse lying in the snow. This discovery sends the town of Echo Falls into a tailspin. Secrets long hidden are revealed and Grampy gets sent to jail. While Ingrid works to clear Grampy’s name and uncover what really happened, she discovers something she wishes she never knew. Just like Gretel, the character Ingrid plays in the Prescott Players production of Hansel and Gretel, Ingrid must go deep into the darkness to shed light on the truth.
