Missing persons and half a million dollars in jewelry...
When Courtney purchases a quaint house in the countryside, her dreams of transforming it into a cozy, inviting inn appear within reach. But beneath the charming exterior lurks a tangle of dark secrets. The previous owners vanished without a trace-eight years ago. Their story is anything but forgotten.
Driven by curiosity and a sense of justice, Courtney and her husband Alex team up with Gary, the desperate son of the missing couple, to unravel the chilling mystery. The clock is ticking-rumors swirl of a stolen fortune: half a million dollars in glittering jewelry, lost the very night Gary's parents disappeared. Now, with the promise of treasure drawing fortune hunters to dig up the tranquil backyard, danger is never far away. And when a fresh murder shatters the peace, Courtney realizes that the truth might be buried even deeper than she feared.
Renovating the inn becomes a race against time, with secrets lurking in every floorboard and every person walking through the door. As the stakes rise and the body count grows, Courtney must decide how much she's willing to risk to bring the truth to light-and whether some dreams are worth dying for.
