Yet when Kelsey returns to her hometown and discovers her mother's body at the bottom of a flooded quarry with a gunshot wound in her chest, Kelsey's world is flipped upside down. Her mother didn't desert her; she was killed.

Despite Sheriff Mitch Garrett's pleas to leave the case alone, Kelsey is determined to uncover the truth about her mother. But small towns hide big secrets, and someone has their eye on Kelsey and is set on silencing her for good.
