Painters Mill, venerdì 13. La notizia di una grande festa a base di alcol organizzata da minorenni amish mette in allarme Kate Burkholder e il suo piccolo dipartimento di polizia. A peggiorare le cose, un blackout costringe l'intera contea al buio.

After a lot of effort, we found Abram, who was Amish and working in the same hotel where we were staying. Abram helped us to reach an Amish village.
