Downhome Crazy

As the only reporter in the small town of Fortuna, Ohio, Tessa McDonald hopes every phone call will be the big story that brings glory to both her and the radio station, WFRT. When Eugene, the town's one goth/gangsta teen calls, she only goes to check out his supposedly gone-crazy mom to keep from disappointing him. But when some of Fortuna's already colorful characters go waaay around the bend, she knows more help is needed.Carson Hayes of the Ohio Bureau of Investigation returns to Fortuna to aid the local police after a 60-something shopkeeper disappears. While he searches through bank records and waits for a ransom call, he's also rolling with the chief as the newly nutty are taken to the local psych ward. He's thrilled to spend his nights with Tessa, despite the cranky cat she's guilted into sheltering, the morose appearances of Eugene, and her predilection for always being on the wrong end of a gun.
