The old and new collide in Nashville. A crooked developer plans to demolish the old Eagles Nest and build yet another sleek new tower. At the legendary Bluebird Café, a washed-up drunk named Notorious interrupts Willow Goodheart's performance, accusing her of stealing his song. Truth-teller Caleb Hunter, determined to shine a light on corruption in New Nashville, is murdered, his body dragged from the river. Jordan Mayfair finds herself immersed in it all. She has come to "Music City" with Alex, her travel-writer uncle, and learns her daughter Holly is in danger. Friendships are tested and betrayals exposed. The duplicity of Jordan's old friend, Aurora, leads to Holly's kidnapping, and Jordan can only hope that Notorious's ramblings about the old Eagles Nest will help her save her daughter.
