DARK DEPARTURE – They already decided Rowan Mercer is guilty. She just doesn’t know what she did. Witnesses remember things that never happened. Evidence appears exactly when it’s needed. Every version of the story points to her. Not because she’s guilty. Because she’s been placed there. Rowan came back to Pebble Creek to investigate a disappearance.
But the deeper she digs— the more the case begins to change. Details shift. Timelines don’t hold. People remember what never happened— and forget what did. Every path leads back to her. Every answer rewrites the question. This isn’t a case being solved. It’s a narrative being constructed. And Rowan isn’t trying to prove she’s innocent anymore— She’s trying to figure out who decided she was guilty in the first place.
