Premise

Set in Atlanta, Anna is a former news anchor living alone after withdrawing from her career and personal life. When she overhears news of a murder in Dahlonega, the small Georgia town where she grew up, the case jolts her back into action. Drawn by both professional instinct and unresolved ties to her past, Anna returns to Dahlonega and begins digging into the killing, convinced that the truth has been buried beneath layers of silence and half-remembered history.

As Anna's investigation deepens, she repeatedly clashes with Detective Jack Harper, her estranged husband who is officially assigned to the case and is deeply suspicious of her motives and involvement.
