Investigative journalist Faith Vance returns to the isolated mountain town of Blackwood Ridge with one mission: uncover the truth behind the disappearance of her childhood mentor, Pastor Thomas, who vanished without a trace ten years ago. Fueled by a relentless pursuit of justice, Faith starts digging into the town's past, completely unaware that her search is pulling her into a web of corporate greed, dark secrets, and dangerous cover-ups tied to the powerful family that owns the local timber mill.
