resurrection
sunlight glints off the water, a haze of fog drifting up and diffusing the light that glows around the end of a wooden dock.
a secret is being dredged up…
Riley has returned to the place she was raised to bury her grandfather, who did the raising. Her sister Shae's been cleaning house, making arrangements, silently spinning out. When their grandfather's will reveals that Riley and Shae could be millionaires if Riley agrees to live in the house for a year, things get... complicated. As the sisters hash out old wounds, a secret begs to be unearthed -- a secret Shae wants buried, but Riley is ready to resurrect it.

MARCUS (he/him), RIley’s childhood friend, is looking to reignite the attraction that never fully played out between them 10 years ago.
