When Freya Sinclair was a little girl, she had no idea what her parents were hiding in the basement of her childhood home... After five years away from her hometown of Fawn Lake, Detective Freya Sinclair isn't expecting a warm welcome from the people she's sworn to protect. She became a detective to bring serial killers like her parents to justice, but the tight-knit North Carolinian community can't see past her twisted roots. Minutes after stepping foot back home, the body of a dark-haired young girl is pulled from the river and Freya races to the scene. She's determined to identify the child and finally prove herself, but before Freya even has a chance to search through missing persons, another girl is reported missing. Freya's heart breaks at the sight of little Isa's blonde ringlets and pristine soccer uniform in the photo her father clutches, but the look on his face says he doesn't trust Freya. Does he think she's just like her parents, or does he have a sinister secret of his own? But when another innocent girl is found drowned, Freya finds a white hair ribbon snagged on a branch, and instantly recognizes it as part of the soccer team uniform at the local school... Two drowned girls. One daughter still missing. Can Freya save Isa before she becomes the third victim? Or has the killer already set their sights on Freya next?
