Since private investigator Cal Weaverâs teenage son died in a tragic accident, Cal and his wife have drifted apart. Cal is mired in a grief he canât move past. And maybe his grief has clouded his judgment.
Driving home one night, a rain-drenched girl taps on his car window and asks for a ride. He knows a grown man picking up a teenage hitchhiker is foolishâbut he lets her in. Cal soon senses that somethingâs not right with the girl or the situation. But itâs too late. Heâs already involved.
Drawn into a nightmare of secrets, lies, and cover-ups in his small, upstate New York town, Cal knows that the only thing that can save him is the truth. And heâs about to expose the townâs secrets one by oneâif he lives long enough.
