We meet Maddie and Lindsay, our hosts and fans of the podcast ASHES. Together, driven by their curiosity, they question some of the claims and events of the podcast and begin to sort fact from fiction in an effort to find out what really happened to Ashley.
Starting with the basics and to get a grip on the fundamentals of the universe, they interiew a Princeton professor, Tim Bard, who is a leading Cosmologist and Fluid Dynamicist. They also manage to find Ashley's mom, Judy Norman, who still resides in Marshalltown, and who sheds some light on her daughter's past. 
Turns out, facts trump fiction.
