Investigative reporter Emily has been blacklisted by powerful people and forced to return to her hometown, barely hanging on at a small local paper. Then a routine story marking the 30th anniversary of a teenage girl's disappearance opens the door to a much bigger cold case.
Between 1985 and 1996, at least four young women vanished from Cedar Valley. Every case was officially written off as an “accident.” But Samantha's deleted 911 call, destroyed crime-scene evidence, and a key witness who suddenly ended up in a coma after a car crash all point in the same direction: real-estate tycoon Sterling's private hunting club—and the sheriff who spent more than a decade covering for him.
As the threats turn deadly, Emily joins forces with an independent reporter and takes the evidence public. Together, they expose the criminal network and the people protecting it, sending them to court and finally breaking Cedar Valley's thirty years of silence.
