It's been six months since Pip Fitz-Amobi solved the Andie Bell case and cleared Sal Singh's name.
For the rest of Little Kilton, life has started to move on.
But for Amelia - Pip's older sister - moving on feels like pretending.
The town's smiles feel forced, the reporters have finally packed up, and everyone wants to forget the Bell family tragedy ever happened. Everyone except Pip, who has sworn off detective work for good. Amelia believes her - at least, she wants to. After everything that investigation cost them, Amelia would give anything for her sister to stay safe.
But when Jamie Reynolds goes missing after the memorial fundraiser, Little Kilton's secrets start seeping back through the cracks. And this time, Amelia's not content to watch from the sidelines.
Amelia knows how darkness hides behind familiar faces - she's seen it up close. When Pip decides to reopen her old equipment and launch a podcast about Jamie's disappearance, Amelia is caught between two impossible roles: protective sister and reluctant witness to the truth.
As Pip dives deeper into the mystery with Ravi at her side, Amelia finds herself pulled in a different direction - toward Cara Ward, the girl she hasn't stopped thinking about since that terrible night outside Kilton Grammar.
Cara's still struggling with what her father did. The Ward family is a shadow of what it was, and Amelia becomes her anchor - someone who listens, who understands.
But as Pip's investigation spirals - Amelia realizes she's seeing the same patterns again: secrets hidden under kindness, guilt wearing a friendly face, and the unbearable cost of the truth.
When Pip's search for Jamie turns dangerous, Amelia is forced to decide how far she'll go to protect her sister this time - and whether her own heart can survive the fallout. Because as much as she's tried to deny it, the one person she's starting to fall for is tied to the very family that shattered hers.
