Sedaia "Slim" Banks grew up in the quiet luxury that came with being Deivys Banks's daughter-a man known just as much for his spotless legal reputation as the rumors that trailed behind him. To the world, he was reformed. To Slim, he was distant. And for years, she never questioned why.
But when an unexpected disappearance from her father drags her from New York to Atlanta, closer to his hometown, Slim is forced to confront everything she was never told. What begins as a short visit for her father spirals into a dangerous unraveling of generational secrets, long-buried truths, and the life Deivys tried to leave behind.
As Slim digs deeper into the past, she finds herself tangled in a story much bigger than her-one where every quiet warning, every offhand name, and every locked door carries weight. And once the truth starts moving, it doesn't slow down for anyone.
2 Hours from Atlanta is a slow-burn thriller filled with legacy, betrayal, and a daughter's reckoning with the man who raised her-and the world he tried to protect her from. Some stories don't stay buried. Especially the ones written in blood.
