A flawless marriage. A perfect career. A past built on buried lies.

Michael Turner is a star lawyer in Richmond, a loving husband with a life his shrewd, analytical wife, Rachel, helped build. But his success is balanced on a dark secret—a legal victory that cost a family everything.

Rachel has her own secrets. Shadowy memories of a childhood she tried to forget.

Their perfect world shatters when a break-in leaves no clues—only a single, ominous business card on Michael's desk: OBERLIN.

The card ignites Michael's obsession, pulling him into a dark spiral. He's hunting a stranger, a paranoid outsider named Jack, who seems to know every secret Michael and Rachel have ever kept. As Michael's paranoia tests their marriage, Rachel must confront her own past, realizing this stranger is tied to her family's darkest, most well-hidden sin.

With the help of a loyal, underestimated friend, Michael and Rachel are drawn into a web of conspiracy, jealousy, and conflicting memories that stretches into the very heart of Richmond's elite.

Now, they're heading for a final confrontation at a derelict mill by the river. But in a game of lies, who can you trust? When the truth is finally revealed, will it save their marriage, or will their secrets be the one thing that destroys them both?
