The year is 1958. Rafe Cameron is the town's golden son: a shipping magnate of burgeoning wealth, a devoted husband, and a pillar of civic trust. Yet as women vanish from the fog-shrouded docks, earning the shadowy name 'The Harbor Killer,' a silent dread seeps through the manicured streets. Amidst the panic, Rafe remains unnervingly composed. On a night when rain drums a frantic rhythm against the glass and the radio whispers of another absence, he comforts his trembling spouse, his embrace a warm, solid promise. But beneath the fine wool of his suit and the reassurance of his smile, darker currents swirl, secrets kept from the world—and perhaps, most chillingly, from the one he claims to love.
