When high school teacher Sarah Bennett returns to her childhood hometown of Hollow Creek to care for her ailing grandmother, she expects quiet comfort—not a decades-old mystery that threatens to unravel the town's peaceful facade. The day she arrives, the mayor's daughter vanishes without a trace, eerily mirroring an unsolved disappearance from twenty years earlier. As suspicion falls on the town's most prominent families, Sarah finds herself drawn into the investigation, uncovering buried secrets that someone will kill to keep hidden. With the help of a reluctant local detective and a mysterious historian who knows too much about the town's dark past, Sarah must navigate a web of lies, old grudges, and shocking betrayals. But in a town where everyone has something to hide, the truth may be more dangerous than she ever imagined.
