Gilly, Cricket, and Wendy are hours from campus when a wrong turn takes them deep into the West Virginia mountains. When their car dies on a road that isn't on any map, they find themselves in Hallow's Gap—a coal town that time and the rest of the world seem to have forgotten. The locals are friendly enough. The sheriff promises a mechanic will look at their car in the morning. The motel has a vacancy. Everyone assures them they'll be on their way as soon as the wind shifts and the fog clears.

You can’t outrun what’s inside you. And when the past hunts in silence, even the sharpest mind can go blind. Hailie Chambers is used to blood.

She just captures the truth and moves on. But when a new case surfaces—a scene more sadistic than anything she’s ever documented—something in her shifts. The violence isn’t random. The cuts are clean. The message is deliberate. And it feels familiar.
