The inhabitants of Deadhart haven't seen a killing like this in twenty-five years.

Determined to find the truth, she enlists the help of a former Deadhart sheriff, Jenson Tucker, whose investigation into the previous murder almost cost him his life. Since then, Tucker has become a recluse. But he knows the Colony better than almost anyone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the pair delve into the town's history, they uncover secrets darker than they could have imagined.
