Quincy goes on a fishing trip with Danny in the small town of Paradise.
After getting a tip off from a private detective. A young woman called Jessica Casey comes for Quincy's help. She wants to hire him as an independent pathologist to help clear her father's name for the killing of her mother, his ex wife.
Quincy reluctantly agrees just to look into the case and finds himself in trouble. The local sheriff wants him to leave the case alone. Quincy and Danny are thrown out of their hotel. Some thugs damage Quincy's van.
It seems the townsfolk of Paradise are in on a conspiracy to hide something, Paradise is on the verge of finding oil.
The enjoyable episodes of Quincy were always the one where he does some sleuthing and becomes an annoying pest. Much better than the ones where he started to champion a cause.
Here Sheriff Connelly who apprehended Jessica's dad after the killing looks like he might be part of the cover up. He certainly treats Quincy with suspicion and this keeps the viewers guessing as to who might be the real culprit.
