After a shocking truth is finally revealed, Maggie moves back to her hometown to build a new life for herself and her son. Soon, a chance encounter with a former schoolmate and current police chief, Will McFarland, quickly leads to changes for both of them. As romance blooms, their pasts resurface and bring chaos, sweeping away their peaceful lives in an undercurrent of betrayal, corruption, and murder that threatens to pull them under troubled waters forever.
