Three years ago, Alex Fisher lost her husband and since then, she hasn't been able to find her stride.

She's out of a job, out of time, and running on fumes.

When she receives a personal invitation to visit the picturesque town of Granite Harbor, Maine, she jumps at the chance to start fresh.

For game warden Eli Young, life is simpler when he's exploring the back roads of Maine.

In the north woods, he doesn't have to deal with town politics or his soon-to-be ex-wife. But a chance meeting with a brokenhearted newcomer leaves him tangled. He should walk away-except, now that he's met her, he can't turn back.

When a young woman goes missing in town, tensions rise, and everyone becomes a suspect.

Eli doesn't think things can get any more complicated, until a picture of Alex is discovered at a gruesome crime scene.

In a town where trust is hard to come by and ghosts from the past haunt its citizens in the broad light of day, the question isn't whether Eli and Alex can save what's left of their hearts, but whether they'll live to see tomorrow.
