β¦ Synopsis
In a small town everyone has secrets, but in the picturesque town of Rose Hill someone has a secret so dark itβs dangerous. Claire Fitzpatrick returns to Rose Hill to visit family, take a much-needed rest, and decide what to do with the rest of her life. After a travel day from hell, she arrives home in the middle of the night and almost runs over a corpse. When the dead man turns out to be someone she knows all too well, Claire becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
Police Chief Scott Gordon dreads working with ruthless County Sheriffβs Investigator Sarah Albright. Determined not to let Sarah incriminate an old friend, Scott finds himself bending the law in order to get to the truth. The investigation is further complicated by a shady politician and a famous actress who both have secrets they might kill to keep.
Itβs April in Rose Hill; as nefarious schemes and hidden motives are revealed, loyalties change as fast as the weather. Claire must decide where she belongs, whom she can trust, and just how far sheβs willing to go to conceal her own secrets.
