As police dig deeper, Audrey goes from witness to suspect after it's revealed she had a heated argument with Sarah hours before her death. Audrey had moved to Sleepy Point for a new, quiet start, to recover after the trauma that had left her with incurable blindness. But Audrey also moved next-door to Sarah to spy on her. Told through alternating timelines and perspectives, a complex web of deception unravels, threatening all involved . . . as the ticking clock of investigation collides with the explosive secrets Audrey and Sarah have been keeping.
