About this listen

Lara McAllister was adored by everyone in the small town of Grants Pass until one rainy day last year when she vanished without a trace. Some believe she simply ran away. Others believe something sinister happened. In a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone's business, is it possible that nobody saw anything?

Rookie Homicide Detective Maeve Kalani moves to Grants Pass in the hopes of starting fresh and is assigned tot he case. As Maeve begins to untangle the mystery behind Lara's disappearance, paranoia and mistrust sets in as she realizes that everyone has some sort of connection to the missing woman. Weak alibis and hidden motives are everywhere, and it seems no one is willing to dig up the past. But when everyone is a suspect, who can she trust?

After a body is discovered on the grounds of Umbele Women's Penitentiary in the neighboring community of Azalea, the dark secrets and unlikely connections uncovered will haunt the small town of Grants Pass for generations to come.
