Eight years ago, she escaped the stifling secrets of Bel Claire, Louisiana. Now, those secrets are calling her home.

Del thought she'd left the ghosts of her past behind in the bayou. A new life, a new love, a new beginning in the heart of France. But a chilling phone call shatters her fragile peace: her parents are dead, her sister missing, and the sleepy town she fled is gripped by fear.

Reluctantly returning to Bel Claire, Del is haunted by the trauma that drove her away. The suffocating closeness of the community. The whispers that cling like Spanish moss. The lies that twist and tangle like the cypress roots in the swamp.

As she navigates the currents of her former life, Del finds herself drawn into a web of suspicion and paranoia. Her childhood sweetheart, now the lead investigator, struggles to reconcile the girl he lost with the woman who's returned. Meanwhile, Del's own sanity is tested as unexplainable events leave her questioning everything she thought she knew.

With the police grasping at straws and the townsfolk watching her every move, Del must confront the darkness that lurks beneath Bel Claire's charming facade. Can she uncover the truth behind her family's disappearance before she becomes the next victim? Or will the secrets of her past finally consume her?
