Ryan Hunter arrives in his hometown after years away, carrying his cameras and a reputation as a celebrated photojournalist. His father disowned him. His brother betrayed him. A little boy with Ryan's own features lives in the house he once called home. The town still sees him as the charismatic troublemaker who left in disgrace. Kara Delaney has rebuilt her life after a marriage that nearly destroyed her. She focuses on her young daughter and the quiet existence she has carved out for them both. Then Ryan returns, and the careful peace she has constructed begins to crack. Small town politics turn vicious. Her daughter tells stories about ghosts that may not be stories at all. A storm approaches, threatening to wash away more than just the landscape. Ryan and Kara find themselves drawn together as buried secrets surface and old wounds reopen. They must navigate the dangerous currents of their past and the undeniable attraction that pulls them toward each other.
