Kenbrooke Minnesota is a tourist's dream. Situated in the deep woods with a stunning waterfall outside of town, Kenbrooke is beautiful, serene and peaceful. Except for Will Barton. But then, he's not exactly a tourist. Will comes to Kenbrooke because it's the one place his parents won't visit, despite their million dollar home on the shores of Acorn Lake. Will wants to figure out his future; one that doesn't include his parents running his life. What he finds is a murdered man at the rundown plant where he works. Will's boss, an old friend of his father, pushes him into the investigation, with a promise that if Will can find the murderer, he will also find answers for his future. Intrigued, Will agrees to help the lead investigator, Miles Cooper. But the murderer is elusive and Cooper hates him. The harder he tries, the more the whole situation slides out of his control until he confronts having no future at all.
