Judgement is inescapable. Only a fool would try to evade it. Chesapeake Valley is a charming town hiding many secrets. Sheriff Eve Wicker has spent years trying to unearth one of its dark mysteries. The truth behind her mother’s death. After moving back to her hometown, she found herself ensnared in a web of conspiracies, from serial killers to child trafficking networks. When a beloved member of the community, Martha Hawthorne is found dead in her home, the case is quickly ruled as one of natural causes. Months later, Amy Hawthorne, her granddaughter, inherits the Hawthorne home. Not long after her move, she is found dead in a gruesome manner. Prior to Amy’s death, she was being stalked and harassed by the town’s “witch”. She even reached out to the town pastor to exorcise the home, after multiple "supernatural" occurrences. Hoping to get to the bottom of the Hawthorne case, before the wild theories surrounding their death spread like wildfire, Eve begins to unravel a thread, leading to a great scandal. Generations of secrets and lives built upon lies. The sins of the past have cast a shadow over the present.
