Inspired by real-life events, “Tarnished Notes” unfolds the tale of a murder rooted in a love triangle involving a Southern Baptist music minister, his spouse, and their romantic partner. In 1984, Jim and Judith Daniels relocate to a quaint town in Eastern North Carolina. As they embark on this new chapter, Jim encounters a young man burdened by a difficult history. Judith takes actions she believes are necessary to safeguard her family, much like any protective mother would.
