A couple in love, building their family, a TV joke that goes viral, and a murder that shocks a small town. So few clues, except a dim figure on a neighbor's video. Is it enough to point to a killer? Someone is playing a dangerous game. It begins with a crowbar. A fall of bullets. I heard sirens, and the siren sound just didn't stop. And a ghost on a bicycle, caught on camera.

He made it all the way up to the final cut. Tim's social media, it's funny and it's silly, and I think that that is a really good snapshot of what life was like with Tim as a dad. The picture of a family man.
