Ruthless octogenarian Vivian Lennox fights her deteriorating mind as she defends the catastrophic decisions she made decades earlier. Armed only with her curiosity, 10 year-old Elena Reid is dangerously unaware of who or what she is about to expose as she searches for answers to her fatherβs disappearance. It is the 1990s. An explosion at the local sawmill devastates a small town in British Columbiaβs Southern Interior. Elenaβs missing father soon becomes the prime suspect in the ensuing criminal investigation. In her efforts to find him, Elena digs into the layers of deceit that are tangled up in her townβs past and present. Her actions begin to threaten those who intend to keep the truth concealed. We meet Vivian in the present day. The town of Elenaβs childhood is now a ghost town, and Vivianβs health has also declined. While she struggles with the onset of dementia, she is challenged by the arrival of a newcomer who is determined to find out exactly what happened to the town more than 20 years earlier, and how deeply Vivian herself was involved."--
