What's it about

What if your fresh start came with a dead body? When Letty Carnahan flees her life in New York City with her four-year-old niece, she thinks a sleepy Florida motel is the perfect place to hide out. But the idyllic escape she envisioned quickly turns into a nightmare. You’ll join Letty as she discovers her sister's body and becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. To clear her name and protect her niece, she must team up with a handsome but suspicious local detective. Together, they'll untangle a web of secrets in a town where everyone knows your name, but no one is who they seem.
