The neighbours know her secret.

Helen wanted to disappear. Riverton was the perfect place to do it.

After what happened that night, she and her husband move to the quiet beachside town, determined to live quietly and unseen. From their house on the hill, Helen watches from a distance. She works. She drinks. She sleeps. Then she does it all again.

It is not happiness.
But it is enough.

Then the neighbours move in.

Sutton and Felix are young, beautiful, and effortlessly free. They slip into the house next door as if they belong there. They laugh by the pool. They live without fear or consequence.

She cannot stop watching them.

And when Sutton befriends her, the loneliness Helen has carefully contained begins to crack.

Then someone paints a single word across the wall of her house.

LIAR

The town begins to whisper. Old secrets start clawing their way to the surface. Helen begins to suspect Sutton did not move to Riverton by accident.

But the closer Helen gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to keep the past buried.

Because some secrets don’t stay buried.
And some truths refuse to stay hidden.

Helen has spent a long time making sure no one discovers what really happened.

She thought she was the only one watching.
She was wrong.
