In the world of recovery, some secrets are lethal

Some places promise healing. Some deliver hell.

When Erika's sister Karen vanishes from an exclusive rehabilitation facility, the staff's explanations don't add up. Karen was getting better—so why would she suddenly disappear? Her cryptic final messages hinted at something sinister lurking behind Turning Trail Recovery Center's pristine facade, but now she's gone without a trace.

Private investigator Zachary Goldman knows the desperation of families fighting addiction. His own brother's struggle has taught him that recovery is fragile, hope is precious, and some people will exploit both for profit. But when his investigation hits the wall, Zachary realizes the only way to find out what happened to Karen is to become a patient himself.

As he navigates the twisted corridors of Turning Trail Recovery Center and peels back layers of deceit, fraudulent practices, and dangerous secrets, he discovers that some patients aren't getting better. And the people who are supposed to heal them are the very ones destroying their lives.

With Karen's life hanging in the balance and his own mental health precarious, Zachary must expose a conspiracy that reaches far beyond one missing woman. Because at Turning Trail Recovery Center, they don't treat addiction—they profit from it, one stolen story at a time.
