Detective Charlie McClung has built his career on reading people and solving impossible cases. But nothing has prepared him for this-an unseen stalker who seems to know his every move, his every thought, shadowing both him and his wife with terrifying precision.
For months, they've felt the presence watching, waiting. McClung dismissed it as paranoia until the morning an innocent man is found murdered, with a message meant only for him.
As the investigation deepens, McClung realizes this isn't random-it's deeply personal. Someone from his past has returned, bringing with them the ghosts of relationships long buried but never truly forgotten. The way we love leaves imprints that time cannot erase, creating wounds that never heal and secrets that refuse to stay hidden.
With each passing hour, the danger grows closer to home. His wife, now squarely in the crosshairs, McClung faces an impossible dilemma: solve the riddles of his past before they destroy his present, or cross lines he swore never to cross.
In this race against a ticking clock, McClung will discover that it's not who we love that haunts us-it's how we love them. And sometimes, those choices follow us through time, demanding a reckoning when we least expect it.
