A scream pierced the night as they watched flames engulf the woodland, leaving only charred branches in their wake. Fire tore through the trees, its scorching heat scorching the earth. And then, they saw it. On the ashen forest floor, a body lay motionless.

Police officer Mitchel Prescott answered the phone with a shaking hand, his heart pounding in his chest. It was the one call he had been dreading. It was the hospital at Green Acres, his father Thomas's place of residence. His father had passed away in the night, and Mitchel knew he had to return to the small town he had been avoiding since childhood.

As he arrived, the close-knit residents refused to speak about Thomas's death, other than to explain that he had been found burnt to death in the woods and that his dementia was the likely cause. But Mitchel knew that wasn't the truth. There were traces of accelerant on his father's body, and he was certain it wasn't an accident. Then, his childhood home was broken into, his father's study ransacked, and a rock thrown through the window, warning him to leave.

Mitchel was convinced that Thomas had discovered something that had gotten him into trouble—something that would threaten his entire family. But what secret was worth killing for?
