Wynter Evans is a promising young reporter for the television station in St. Louis, but even a bright future doesn’t take away her pain within the disappearance of her brother nine years ago. Therefore when she stumbles across an image of a son with an eerie resemblance to him, she can’t pass up the chance to monitor him down. With study for work as her cover, she models out with one of the station’s photos for where the picture was taken: the city of Sanctuary.

Almost when she arrives, she meets the town’s handsome young mayor, Rueben King, and together they begin to uncover long held secrets that could rip the small town apart and change everything Wynter thought she understood about her lifestyle. As the reality of her family’s history hides in the shadows, it’s very clear someone will stop at nothing to keep carefully the answers she’s searching for hidden forever-even if the price is Wynter’s very life.
