Lights. Camera. Murder.

Amidst the rugged beauty of Oregon's Opal Creek Wilderness, a contestant on a reality survival show falls to his death from an isolated cliff, his body later devoured by black bears. The show's producers are spinning it as a tragic accident, but local police suspect murder.

While enjoying a leisurely tour of the Oregon wine country, Detective Thomas Austin is drawn into the mystery when he learns that the deceased is a well-known author who lived minutes from his own home. Joining the investigation, Austin must navigate conflicting stories from the show's crew and contestants along with protestors, paparazzi, a local tribe, and even Bigfoot hunters. As Austin delves deeper into the dark secrets of the reality show and its participants, he uncovers a web of lies and hidden agendas that threaten to consume him.

And when a crew member vanishes, the investigation takes a turn more twisted and sinister than Austin could have imagined.In a world where reality is just another carefully crafted performance, lines between truth and fiction begin to blur. With time running out and the murderer always one step ahead, can Austin separate fact from fiction and catch the killer before it's too late?
