Senator Bernie Sanders has returned to Vermont for a weekend of events in Eagle Creek. It's up to intern and Eagle Creek native Crash Robertson to keep the senator on schedule—and out of trouble. Crash's hopes for a quiet homecoming are dashed, however, when the lifeless body of a community banker with ties to "Big Maple" is found in Lake Champlain. If the unlikely duo can't solve the mystery of the Maple Murderer before they strike again, Bernie's life-long fight for justice may come to an unplanned end.
