On the night of July 7th, 1999, in the small town of Rosewood, Michigan, all four members of the Harper family were viciously stabbed to death in their own home. Local police, bewildered and under intense pressure from a fearful public, were confronted with a crime that offered no clear evidence, no obvious motive, and no apparent answers. Today, twenty-six years after the murders, a small documentary crew has come to Rosewood to investigate the legacy of these killings. Through the recollections of those connected with the Harper murders, as well as conversations with a woman aspiring to write a book on the case, there emerges a picture of that fateful night which only adds to the essential mystery: Who killed the Harpers, and why?
