What happens when a hero goes missing?
In the quiet Indiana town of Feather Cove, a tiny gray-and-white Maltese-Poodle mix named Oreo becomes an overnight sensation after bravely rescuing a trapped kitten from a burning abandoned house.
The town celebrates.
The newspaper runs a front-page story.
Then one night...
Oreo disappears.
A broken gate latch.
A muddy footprint beneath the window.
And a suspicious van seen creeping down the street after dark.
While the adults argue and rumors spread, ten-year-old Vanessa Jane knows one thing: this wasn't an accident.
With her loyal Yorkshire terrier Bruno by her side, Vanessa follows a trail of clues across town - from the burned house to the newspaper office, from the pet supply store to the shadowy woods at the edge of Feather Cove. What she uncovers reveals something deeper than jealousy...
Someone wanted Oreo because he was famous.
As the mystery unravels, Vanessa must confront big questions about fame, loyalty, and what it truly means to give someone the life they deserve.
Because sometimes the bravest act isn't running into a fire...
It's letting go.
