Coming in 2026!
In the rainy, restless town of Marrow Ridge, justice is messy — and love is even messier.
Detectives Eli Mason and Rhea Donovan are partners in the field, but strangers after hours. Eli’s trying to hold together the fragile pieces of his life: raising his daughter Sadie, managing a tense relationship with his teenage son Cole, and avoiding the emotional wreckage of an old case that never really closed. Rhea’s tough, intuitive, and too good with his kids, especially when she’s singing to batter in the kitchen or challenging his emotional shutdowns.
The latest case pulls them into the shadows of Blue Hollow’s dive bars, the secrets of Briar Oaks’ gated streets, and the haunted woods of The Pines, where something Eli buried years ago won’t stay hidden.
As the bodies stack up, their working relationship teeters between partnership and something deeper, something both of them keep resisting. They each try to date other people. They both fail. The kids have already figured it out.
In a town like Marrow Ridge, everyone’s got a secret. Some are just baked in deeper than others.
