Some mistakes haunt you. Others come back to kill you.
After a lifetime of poor decisions, Bryson Franklin sees his grandparents' farm outside quiet Willow River as his last chance at redemption. A fresh start, far from his troubled past. But small towns have a way of unearthing old habits.
When Bryson falls into a passionate affair with Daniel Riggs, his charismatic but volatile neighbor, he finds himself sliding back into familiar patterns. What begins as risky attraction quickly spirals into something far darker when Daniel guilts Bryson into helping him cover up a suspicious death.
Breaking free from Daniel is harder than Bryson expected, but the gentle attention of handsome sheriff's deputy Sam LeClaire offers something Bryson hasn't felt in years-hope. As Bryson cautiously rebuilds his life and opens his heart to the possibility of genuine love, he begins to believe he might finally outrun his past.
Until Daniel reappears on his doorstep a year later, threatening to unravel everything Bryson has built. Now he faces an impossible choice between the future he desperately wants and the deadly secrets that never truly stayed buried.
This time, the wrong decision won't just break his heart-it might end his life.
