β¦ Synopsis
Ariana Reyes loves finding treasures in thrift stores. Sometimes itβs a rare hat, vintage shoes, or a costume to wear for her second-grade class. But when she finds a gorgeous 1950s swing coat, she finds more than a piece of antique clothing.
Reaching into the pocket, Ari discovers a scrap of yellowing paper containing an address and a name. She doesnβt recognize the location, and seeing the chance to motivate her students with a good mystery, she investigates, expecting to find nothing more than an old building.
Instead, she finds a burned-down structure and a cellar secured with a shiny padlock. Her curiosity piqued, she breaks the lock and discovers not only a neglected space but decades-old secretsβsecrets that some will do anything to keep hidden.
