Clara Monroe, 14 years old, believed that her childhood best friend, Silas Quinn, would be around forever. Reality came crashing down when he suddenly moved away, leaving her behind and forcing her to build walls around her heart to protect herself. As the years passed on, the flicker of love she felt for Silas ebbed into nothing more than a distant memory.
Clara, now 18 years old, dedicates herself to local journalism and community reporting. She thought the worst thing about Fall River was its boredom, until a devastating crime conspiracy personally threatens her family. She soon learns the rising tide of danger is no accident, but a deliberate corporate fraud designed to exploit and ruin her entire community.
Desperate to expose the truth, Clara races to unravel the mystery. Her mission quickly grows complicated by the sudden return of Silas, the boy who left her heartbroken years ago. His unexpected arrival is fraught with danger, and Clara is left with two choices: keep her carefully constructed walls intact, or risk breaking her heart again by trusting the person who abandoned her.
In time, Clara uncovers evidence that makes her and everyone she loves a direct target of those behind the conspiracy. Powerful enemies are closing in. Clara must fight alongside Silas against the ruthless legacy he was raised to inherit, not only to save themselves, but also to save the town she calls home.
