Professor Whit Filmore thought his detective days were behind him. Trading crime scenes for classrooms, he planned to spend the rest of his life teaching—until a life-altering revelation unlocked senses far sharper than he ever imagined. Now, Whit sees what others miss, hears what others ignore, and feels danger long before it strikes.
When two girls vanish from opposite sides of Aldridge, a quiet Texas town brimming with secrets, an old FBI contact calls in a favor. Whit, accompanied by his assistant Anna—an empath still learning to harness her mysterious abilities—heads south to investigate.
But Aldridge isn’t exactly welcoming. The community is tight-lipped, the evidence scarce, and time is running out. As Whit navigates the shadows of a divided town, he must rely on every heightened instinct and Anna’s emerging gift to find the missing girls before it’s too late.
In a town where trust is a luxury and truth hides in plain sight, can two unlikely investigators uncover what no one else will admit to seeing?
