When a woman who lived a double life goes missing, which trail should be followed to find her?

Ambrose Forde is a prominent Boston private investigator. But when he hears the case of Ada Jo Brathwaite, a young woman who has gone missing after attending a festival in Winchester, Virginia, he takes it on immediately.

When Ambrose arrives in the small country town to investigate, local law enforcement is strangely tight-lipped. Without their help on the case, Ambrose interviews several townspeople close to Ada Jo Brathwaite instead. The more he learns from them, the less he knows about who she really is.

As evidence surfaces to suggest that Ada led a double life, multiple murders occur around the town and a bunch of teenagers go missing. Now wrapped up in countless ongoing investigations, Ambrose must figure out who he can trust and how the cases are linked before anyone else gets hurt.
