Scorned
In the lakeside town of Muskoka, where the ice is beginning to thaw and old resentments refuse to stay buried, grief hangs over the community like fog on the water.
Adeline is desperate to reclaim the life she lost after a tragic death shattered her world. Saying yes to the man she loves should feel like a new beginning, but guilt follows her everywhere, relentless and corrosive. As she searches for a way to move forward, her need for justice hardens into something far more dangerous: obsession.
In Muskoka, Lennie is unraveling in quieter ways. Terrified of growing older and disappearing into the sameness of small-town life, she falls into a reckless relationship with Muskoka's infamous bad boy, chasing risk in an attempt to outrun her own emptiness. While the town whispers about secrets best left alone, Lennie is drawn straight toward them.
When another sudden death fractures the fragile calm of the community, Adeline and Lennie's lives collide. What begins as coincidence soon reveals a far darker connection, one that ties them together through buried truths, dangerous desires, and a past neither woman has escaped.
In the lakeside town of Muskoka, where thawing ice exposes more than the shoreline, grief lingers like fog over the water-and some secrets are determined to surface.
