Storyline:
One girl disappears... One village comes undone... And one woman won’t stop digging.
The isolated village of Chadder Vale seems like a sleepy northern town, but underneath its calm surface simmers decay, distrust, and long-held secrets. Former London police investigator Riya Ajunwa has lived there for five years—restless, watchful, and waiting for something to wake her up.
Then, one night, Katie Wells vanishes.
Her car is found abandoned, smeared with blood—but to everyone’s shock, Katie reappears the very next day, seemingly unharmed and with no explanation. What should be a relief only deepens the mystery.
As more strange and unnatural crimes begin to surface, Riya is pulled into a case that is far more sinister and inexplicable than it first appears. The deeper she digs, the more she questions not only the villagers—but reality itself.
