A late-night call. A child in danger. A trap set for the one man who will come looking.
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe knows better than most what happens when a child is left alone in the dark. So when DCFS calls in the middle of the night about an emergency placement, she doesn't hesitate. A girl named Whitney Chandler needs help, and Billy Jo is the one sent to get her.
But the address is wrong. The house is too quiet. And by the time Billy Jo realizes no child is waiting inside, it's too late.
She has been taken.
Detective Mark Friessen knows Billy Jo doesn't disappear. Not without a fight. When her car is found abandoned and a chilling note is left for him, Mark realizes the truth: Billy Jo isn't the target. She's the bait.
The man who took her wants revenge for a case Mark failed to solve years ago-the disappearance and murder of an Indigenous young woman whose death was buried by broken systems, ignored warnings, and men with too much power to touch.
Now Mark must race against time to find Billy Jo before an old failure becomes a deadly reckoning. But every lead pulls him deeper into a web of lies, offshore property owners, bureaucratic mistakes, and secrets protected by wealth and silence.
And Billy Jo, locked away and running out of time, will have to do what she has always done.
Survive.
A gripping small-town mystery filled with suspense, buried secrets, emotional tension, and a slow-burn connection between a guarded social worker and the detective who refuses to let her go.
