When Demary Jones stumbles over a man's naked corpse on the front steps of her temporary digs, suspicious questions from the investigating detective rattle her almost as much as the nagging fear that she'd interrupted the dumping of the body, and that the killer would be back to clean up any loose ends -- like her.
