In the quiet town of Hollow Creek, where everyone knows each other and trust runs deep, a simple arrest begins to unravel a dangerous secret. When seventeen-year-old Lila Monroe is caught leaving an abandoned house filled with stolen goods, public defender Ethan Caldwell assumes it is just another small town crime. But as he digs deeper, he discovers a carefully hidden network of theft, money laundering, and manipulation that reaches into the highest levels of the community.
At the center of it all is Victor Hale, a respected businessman and beloved town benefactor whose generosity has earned him the loyalty of nearly everyone in Hollow Creek. As Ethan and Sheriff Barnes follow the evidence, they begin to realize that Hale’s reputation may be the perfect cover for a criminal empire built quietly over many years.
