Seven years ago, Gregory Halliwell’s death was ruled an accident. Swan Lake buried the truth—but his little sister never believed the story.

Return to an affluent East Texas town where old-money families rule from lakefront estates, reputations are everything, and every dock, yacht, charity gala, and family dinner hides another secret.

Investigate a decades-old conspiracy alongside Gregory’s four lifelong best friends—each carrying their own grief, secrets, and reasons to protect you.

❤️ Adrian Hawthorne — the polished political heir with perfect control and dangerous secrets.

🍷 Luca Morelli — the charming cybersecurity billionaire who smiles while quietly uncovering impossible truths.

🤠 Beckett Ashford — the steadfast rancher who promised Gregory he’d always make sure Wildfire came home.

🎥 Julian Sterling — the award-winning filmmaker whose decades of home videos may hold the key to everything.

Balance romance, comedy, family, and suspense as you decide who to trust, who to love, and how far you’re willing to go to uncover what really happened that night on Swan Lake.

Every choice matters.

Every clue changes everything.
