A sunlit coast. A forgotten murder. A film that was never meant to be finished.
When a luxury ferry sinks off the coast of France, Noah Sterling barely escapes with his life. Stranded, injured, and drifting through a life he no longer recognizes, the last thing he expects is a call that changes everything:
Controversial filmmaker Rafe Cardoc is dead.
Pulled back to the United States, Noah learns Cardoc died in a mysterious plane crash while filming a new movie deep in the Georgia swamp. The project, unfinished and already surrounded by whispers, centers on the decades-old murder of a young woman whose killer was never found.
Reluctantly, Noah agrees to travel to the remote town near the Okefenokee Swamp to review the film.
What he finds is far from a simple production.
The cast is uneasy. The crew is hiding something. And the deeper Noah digs, the more the past begins to bleed into the present.
Old witnesses still live in silence. Strange stories linger in the humid air. And the closer Noah gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that his Cardoc's death may not have been an accident at all.
Some stories refuse to stay buried.
And in a place where memory and myth intertwine, the truth can be as dangerous as the lie.
