Kate Harris thought River Falls was her family's ticket to a fresh start: a pristine, exclusive gated community with perfect lawns, friendly neighbors, and all the luxuries they could ever dream of. But beneath the glossy veneer of this suburban paradise lies something sinister.

At first, it's the rules: odd, overbearing, and enforced with unsettling precision. Then, the smiles of her neighbors start to feel hollow, their eyes too watchful. As whispers of disappearances reach her ears, Kate begins to uncover a darker truth about River Falls, one that the town's leaders will do anything to protect.

Trapped by iron gates and suffocating secrecy, Kate must navigate a web of lies, betrayal, and mounting danger to save her children and herself. With time running out and no one to trust, she's about to discover just how far she'll go to protect her family, and what it truly means to be free.

Welcome to River Falls... where escape isn't an option.
