EVERY SMILE HIDES A SHADOW. SOMETHING STIRS BENEATH THE SURFACE.

Miles Turner thought moving to the quiet lakeside town of Draymere for his wife’s career would give his family a fresh start. But when they arrive, he begins to feel like something is wrong.

It starts with a crude face: a crooked smile that appears everywhere he turns. Things escalate when he starts finding himself by the edge of the town’s eerie lake, each time with no memory of how he got there.

When a body washes ashore, Detective Maria Martinez arrives to investigate, and Miles is pulled into her search for answers. Stripped of his old identity, haunted by feelings he cannot name, he finds himself unravelling, forcing him to question whether the darkness lies within him—or in the depths of Draymere’s waters.

A haunting blend of psychological and supernatural horror that explores the darkness that stirs beneath the surface of the human mind. Fans of Stephen King, John Langan and H. P. Lovecraft will love this chilling mystery of mounting psychological suspense.
