Operation Desert Storm, 1991. A chaotic, catastrophic scene—and then everything goes black. Finally feeling a sense of peace and belonging, Zoe goes on a hike with Leo and her dog in Sapphire Valley. But when she receives news of her feisty grandmother’s unexpected return to town, it seems Zoe's life is about to get more colorful. Upon her grandmother’s arrival at the Orchard Grove Nursing Home, things take a drastic turn. When a resident dies, the quiet life there turns chaotic. The town sheriff dismisses it as natural causes, until more residents begin dying. Using Leo’s military contacts, Zoe uncovers a dark past behind the deaths, and a terrible betrayal. One that could have sparked a murderous desire for revenge. With her loyal dog by her side, Zoe soon finds herself facing dangers she never anticipated. Deception, negligence, and the ultimate betrayal. How far will Zoe have to go to save those she loves and the town she calls home?
