In January 2010, JoAnn Matouk Romain runs a quick errand to get gas, followed by attending a 15-minute prayer service, then she walks into the freezing lake across the street to take her own life. Or at least that's what police say. But from the very moment they notify the family about her case, they know something isn't right... and the deeper they look, they learn that nothing is what it seems.
