In the small Iowa town of Riverton, journalist Alex Harlan returns after his father’s sudden death to confront old wounds and buried secrets. What begins as grief unravels into the truth about his best friend Tommy’s suspicious death seventeen years earlier—a cover-up tied to corrupt construction on the town’s vital bypass project. With childhood friend and librarian Sarah Kline, Alex uncovers letters, recordings, and his father’s hidden confession, exposing contractor Ray Dempsey’s crimes. Facing threats and long-buried guilt, Alex reclaims his hometown roots, finding closure on the Iron Bridge under unforgiving moonlight. A poignant tale of truth, forgiveness, and coming home.
