She takes the heat, but privately, she proclaims her innocence. Then the body of an unidentified woman is found on a curved road near the borough of Barano. The only suspect is a young friend of Nonna Maria's who drove by the area that night and thinks that he may have hit something a pothole, an animal... or maybe, the woman in question.
