Being a mystery TV series, Murder in a Small Town opened with the shocking murder of Carlyle Burke in episode 1 titled The Suspect, injecting fear and doubts among the residents of Gibsons. The elderly man was beaten to death at his home, and Det. Karl Albeg has to find the killer.

Following the investigation, Alberg suspected Burke's seemingly innocent neighbor George Wilcox. Since the neighbors didn't seem to be on good terms, the detective was hoping some information from Wilcox. Meanwhile, Cassandra and Alberg's relationship is getting complicated as the librarian believes Wilcox's innocence, while the detective questions his reputation.

This situation puts Cassandra in a tough spot, as she's pursuing a relationship with the detective suspecting people she trusts. The story continued in episode 2 titled Fall From Grace, with a high school reunion, where some characters re-visit their past.

While the reunion brought a joyous moment and reflected unsolved conflicts, the residents are still bothered by Burke's murder. Their tensions intensified as another character and Cassandra's former classmate Bobby was found dead. The episode shed light on the rivalries between the residents in Gibsons, which they had buried for years.

The investigation has become complicated as Det. Karl Alberg now has to solve two murders in the town. He's trying to settle in the small town after abandoning a chaotic life in the city, but the continuous murders will keep him occupied.

Meanwhile, Cassandra is concerned about the residents of the town, as she barely doubts anyone despite the haunting crimes taking place.

Her relationship with Alberg has just begun in Murder in a Small Town, and fans can expect more complications to arise in the upcoming episodes.
