Recent college grad Jenna Stone thought her life would settle down when she left college. She'd inherited a house and her parents were already off doing their own thing. When her favourite uncle is found unconscious at the bottom of the cliff behind his house, the police call it an accident. Police say he fell, but that doesn't explain why he was naked and didn't have a single broken bone.
