In the secluded town of Beckinfield, steeped in "quaint" legends and lore, Sheriff Nancy Branter hoped to bury the guilt of her husband's death and raise her brilliant daughter, Rose, in peace. For years, this sleepy California town seemed like the perfect refuge from her high-tech past as a counter-surveillance expert. Then Rose vanishes during a mysterious midnight ceremony in the woods, leaving only a trail of cryptic video posts behind. Only a few weeks before her disappearance, Rose had transformed the town into her stage. She launched the ambitious website, Beckinfield Perspectives, which urged every resident to document their daily lives through video blogs. What started as a simple school project quickly exploded into something far more dangerous. The videos Rose left behind aren't random--they're breadcrumbs leading to an impossible truth.
Amid reports of ghostly lights, lake-monster sightings, and strange whispers in the night, Nancy watches helplessly as her shy honor student daughter transforms into a fearless seeker obsessed with the very legends everyone else dismisses as harmless folklore.
Following her daughter's digital trail, Nancy finds herself pulled back into the world of advanced technology she abandoned after her husband's death. Each post reveals another piece of an ancient puzzle involving rituals, mysterious disappearances, and something sleeping beneath Beckinfield that Rose's project has awakened.
Racing against time as earthquakes shake the town and threaten the ultimate catastrophe, Nancy must confront not only the buried trauma that drove her to Beckinfield but also forces beyond human understanding. Rose didn't merely uncover the town's deepest secret--she made herself its last line of defense against an otherworldly threat that could consume everything Nancy holds dear.
In a town where legends walk among the living, some secrets refuse to stay buried. And some daughters will sacrifice everything to save the people they love.
