And after that he set the house on fire. The local sheriff turns for help to Minneapolis detective Lucas Davenport, who spends the winter in his lakeside house. While examining the crime scene, Davenport begins to suspect that the killer committed the arson to destroy any evidence that could lead to him. This means that this is one of the local residents.
