He's let the past go and learned to accept things as they are. Then he turns the radio on one morning to learn Shay has been murdered: shot to death in his private home studio.Soon the police start focusing their attention on Dunne as a "person of interest." It's a custom made set-up, with him as the chief suspect based on a fifteen year old grudge he's supposed to be nurturing.
