This is the tragic and shocking story of Taylor Wright, a former police officer, private investigator, and devoted mother whose life was brutally taken by someone she believed was protecting her.

In 2017, Taylor withdrew $34,000 during a difficult divorce and asked a trusted friend, Ashley McArthur, to hold onto the money for safekeeping. What followed was a calculated betrayal that ended in murder, deception, and an attempt to hide the truth beneath concrete.

This true crime documentary examines:

Taylor Wright was shot and buried on land connected to the very person she trusted most — a crime that stunned the community and forever changed those who loved her.
