Someone in North Shore has been waiting for them to lower their guard...and the punishment for playing games is about to get lethal.

Estelle thought she could escape this life forever. The poker table. The danger. The shared cigarettes with her favourite boy. The gaze those ocean eyes used to fix themselves on her like she was prey. But to Noah... she meant far more than that. She saw her little life as perfect for a while. She loved those flowers filled routines and those warm meals she used to cook for her husband, Theodore. Or at least she tried to convince herself she would. But despite all this security, peace could never last in a village haunted by unsolved crimes, buried bodies and loud memories that refuse to stay dead. The thrill still lingers deep in her soul, despite those nine years that passed. When Noah comes back into her life, she suddenly finds herself yearning for everything she once lived. But ran away out of pure fear... But is there truly any way to go back now? The line between love and betrayal becomes extremely thin. Memories cling to souls that seemed cured. And Estelle gets proven that once you recover from a disease, it doesn't make you immune to it. Because love shouldn't feel like an easy task everyone could complete. Especially not at the poker table. Love should burn a little. Just like crime always did.
