Shadows in Suburbia
In a quiet suburb where perfectly manicured lawns hide perfectly crafted lies, a community is shattered when two families are devastated by inexplicable disappearances. First, new mother Shelby Tebow vanishes during an evening jog, leaving behind her infant daughter Grace. Just ten days later, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter Delilah disappear without warning, abandoning Meredith's husband Josh and young son Leo. The timing couldn't be worse-unprecedented storms have turned streets into rivers, complicating search efforts and stretching emergency services thin. When Shelby's body is discovered in a debris-filled drainage area, fear grips the neighborhood. What began as missing persons cases transforms into something far more sinister, leaving an indelible mark on a once-idyllic community where neighbors now view each other with lingering suspicion. What truly happens when someone vanishes without a trace? And what if the person who returns isn't who they claim to be?
