Hannah doesn’t need much. Her quiet life suits her just fine, especially with Libby by her side. Libby always understands. Her closest friend, she feels more like family than anyone else ever has.

And then she’s gone.

Vanished without a word. No texts. No calls. Just... silence.

Matt, Libby’s husband, says she needed space. That she’s safe. That Hannah should stop asking questions.

But something’s not right. Hannah can feel it.

The more she digs, the more she realises she might not have known Libby at all. Has someone been lying from the very start? Or should she trust her gut? Is her friend in very real danger?
