Summer in Patterstown should be simple: iced coffee on Main Street, kids riding bikes, neighbors waving from their porches. But when a sudden death shakes one of the town's most powerful families, Detective April Carter knows the calm won't last.
As rumors spread and old tensions resurface, April is pulled deeper into the kind of trouble small towns hide best; the kind tied to influence, loyalty, and the people who never seem to face consequences. With the investigation tightening around the edges of her world, April must balance the law, her family, and the complicated bond she shares with Agatha Graycobble, the sharp-eyed grandmother whose sense of justice doesn't always follow the rules.
Meanwhile, FBI agent Shawn reenters April's life just as everything begins to spiral, forcing both of them to confront unfinished feelings and dangerous truths.
Because in Patterstown, protecting the people you love can mean stepping into the gray and once you cross that line, there's no clean way back.
