The truth is buried deep.
Dr. Wade is a child psychologist haunted by her past. Retreating to an isolated lake house after a devastating professional failure, her only solace is her work. Ten-year-old Sophia arrives, selectively mute and communicating only through chilling drawings. Eleanor is pulled into a nightmare far more dangerous than her own.
Sophia’s art reveals a terrifying secret: her mother’s death was no accident.
As Eleanor pieces together the clues, she uncovers a web of corruption that stretches deep into their quiet town, implicating the most respected names, including Sophia’s own father.
Eleanor isn’t just a therapist anymore. She’s a target. Someone is watching her, breaking into her home, and sending sinister warnings: Stop asking questions. Some things are better left alone.
With the weight of a past failure on her shoulders and a powerful, unseen enemy closing in, Eleanor must protect Sophia. She must recover explosive evidence hidden for years, and expose the decades of lies that have shattered countless lives. But in a town where power trumps truth, every ally is suspect, and every shadow hides a new threat.
Can Eleanor and Sophia expose a killer hiding in plain sight before they become the next silenced voices?
Or will the truth, like so many others, be buried forever in the silent hour?
