Synopsis

Some secrets refuse to stay buried.

Carrie Peters returns to Sleepy Hollow after the deaths of her parents, hoping to settle their affairs and escape before the past catches up with her. But coming home forces the forty-year-old woman to confront the guilt she has carried for years—and the devastating truth surrounding the deaths of her high school friends.

Her best friend, a homicide detective, becomes increasingly concerned as Carrie’s behavior grows more unpredictable. The only other person who knows what truly happened is Carrie’s former boyfriend. He shares her secrets, but reconnecting with him means reopening wounds Carrie has spent years trying to forget.

Haunted by memories and surrounded by the legends and mysterious energy of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, Carrie must decide whether she can continue living beneath the weight of her past. Confessing could finally set her free—but it could also destroy her future and cost her everything.
