Synopsis
In the quiet coastal town of Graywater Cove, secrets are as deeply buried as the driftwood that washes ashore. Seventeen-year-old Lacey Morgan is used to small-town routines—summer jobs, bonfire nights, and hearing the same gossip circle through the town's tight-knit community. But when she and her best friend Felix discover an ornate, timeworn brooch while exploring a cliffside cave after a storm, their world tilts into mystery.
The brooch stirs more than just curiosity—it once belonged to Eleanor Drake, a beloved local historian who died decades ago in what was ruled an accidental drowning. She was last seen wearing that very piece of jewelry, which vanished the night she died. The reappearance of the brooch sparks whispers and fear. Someone in town knows more than they’re saying.
As Lacey and Felix dig deeper, they uncover a tangled web of long-held grudges, hidden relationships, and a past that many would prefer stayed buried. But someone is watching their every move—someone desperate to keep the truth hidden and willing to do anything to protect it.
With their friendship tested and danger creeping closer, Lacey must decide how far she's willing to go for answers in a town where everyone knows everyone—and not all of them can be trusted. Can her and Felix expose the killer before the town's secrets claim another victim?
