In the humid, tangled heart of Pointe-Aux-Ch nes, the annual Red Fish Run is more than a fishing tournament-it's a three-million-dollar lifeline for the parish. But when local craftsman Pierre is found dead, tangled in the cypress roots of the marsh, the "accidental" hit-and-run death threatens to sweep a dark conspiracy under the rising tide.
Anna, a local artist who captures the soul of the bayou on canvas, knows the scene is staged. Ignoring warnings from a complacent sheriff, she finds an unlikely ally in Daniel, a weary State Trooper who knows the parish's secrets run deeper than the bayou itself. As the tournament reaches a fever pitch, Anna and Daniel must navigate a maze of corruption, hidden boat graveyards, and lethal threats to expose a developer willing to kill to bury the past. In a place where the water holds onto its secrets, the truth is a dangerous thing to dredge up.
