Leah works the counter at a general store in Ashbourne, a small New England town where routines rarely change and no one looks too closely. She has arranged her life to be forgettable. That was the point.
Years ago, Leah erased herself. The reasons are buried, the rules unspoken, but the cost has been constant vigilance. Ashbourne is a place to stay hidden, where anonymity passes for safety.
In a town that notices more than it lets on, Leah is forced to confront a truth she's tried to outrun: staying hidden doesn't mean you're safe. It only means you're alone when the past finds you.
