Some people take secrets to the grave... Three years after her husband's murder, Christine Lawrence still struggles for balance. She has a rewarding career and a close circle of friends but feels oddly unfulfilled. Worse, the close relationship she once had with her teenage daughter has grown increasingly strained. Former FBI agent, Vince Green, is battling demons of his own-painful secrets that drove him from Driscoll Lake. Newly resettled in the small town, he makes his living as a private investigator. When Vince and Christine cross paths, stumbling over the body of a murder victim, he's forced to confront memories he thought long buried. The circumstances surrounding the killing are eerily similar to a victim from his past. As the body count continues to rise, Christine finds herself drawn to Vince. With a murderer stalking the streets of Driscoll Lake, neither is aware the killer has targeted her as the next victim-or that Vince's past is key to unmasking a disturbed and deadly killer.
