Isaiah Cole returns to his hometown of Marrow's Creek after fifteen years, summoned by a letter he never expected: his estranged father is dying. A former jazz musician turned city architect, Isaiah carries the weight of a family tragedy he fled as a teenager—the night his brother vanished into the flooding river. As he keeps vigil in the decaying house of his childhood, long-buried secrets surface through his father's fragmented confessions. Confronting the truth about that fateful night, Isaiah must decide whether forgiveness can redeem a past that shaped—and shattered—everyone he ever loved. A haunting meditation on memory, guilt, and grace.
