THERE'S A PLACE
CALLED WALT'S.
The bar has a history, a jukebox, a suspiciously optimistic napkin, and more than a few characters who refuse to go away.

SUSPECTS.
The Last Headliner
One dead club. One night of metal. An alarming number of things “handled.”
Public Access Kitchen
One burned-out chef, a few borrowed cameras, and a very public change of plans.
The Catch
A fishing rod. A little Sabbath. Something in the water that won’t leave Tony alone.
Craft
A closed paper mill. A basement grow. A living that turns out to be harder to make than the product.
