Harper Quinn, a journalist whose career was derailed by a near-fatal "accident", is sent to Galveston to cover a sandcastle competition. The assignment feels like a demotion, a far cry from the high-stakes reporting she once pursued. The situation is further complicated when she discovers she's been booked into a Westbrook-owned hotel. The Westbrooks are connected to the case that ruined her career, and their presence sparks anxiety and memories of a dangerous past. Harper's father, who is in the area, has orchestrated this encounter, hoping to help her regain her footing. He remains a constant reminder of her fall from grace and the ongoing mystery surrounding her near-fatal incident. Comparable works include Gone Girl
