During the level of an especially brutal Vermont winter, a woman's body is found one morning suspending high above the interstate. The girl, found with the word dyke carved on her behalf upper body, is quickly motivated to be the victim of a brutal murder. That by themselves is enough to bring in Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Analysis team. But when the victim is determined not only as a state senator but as a romantic good friend of the governor's, it unleashes a publicity maelstrom that makes a difficult research even more difficult. While the antilesbian message can be an obvious feint meant to mislead investigators, it does uncover that the governor is gay and forces her to publicly acknowledge that fact. In the meantime, while the publicity rages on to even greater heights, the police commence to focus intensely on the dead senator's life. One thing they uncover is that she got a fondness for recreational weed. In Vermont, however, neither lesbianism nor weed use justifies murder. It's up to Gunther and his team to learn not just who but why?
