Since private investigator Cal Weaver s teenage son died in a tragic accident, Cal and his wife have drifted apart. Cal is mired in a grief he can t 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 foolish but he lets her in. Cal soon senses that something s not right with the girl or the situation. But it s too late. He s 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 he s about to expose the town s secrets one by one if he lives long enough.
