What's hidden can haunt you...

When journalist Laney Brooks arrives in the quiet town of Sheffield, Connecticut and investigates a proposed real estate development, she uncovers a dark history buried beneath the picturesque Rockridge Reservoir. Decades ago, an entire village was flooded to create the reservoir, displacing families and leaving festering resentments.

​

As Laney digs deeper, a series of suspicious fires erupt in historic homes, revealing a sinister connection to the long-submerged town. With help from local reporter, Brett Emerson, and Sheffield’s police chief, Alan Deering, Laney races to unravel the mystery before more lives are lost. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes.

When the arsonist targets Laney herself, she must confront her own painful past while fighting to save herself and those she's grown to care for. As long-held secrets come to light, Laney discovers that home isn't always where you expect to find it.
