A decade ago, a horrifying automobile accident left him disfigured, igniting a fire not only on his face but also in the rumors that began to circulate about him. The incident resulted in the death of a young boy, an unfortunate casualty that left McLeod carrying the heavy burden of a conviction for involuntary manslaughter. A veil of mystery hangs around McLeod, his scars a constant reminder of the past, fueling the town's whispers of him being a pedophile.
