From a small town's darkest episode comes an unexpected story about the power of honesty. Apsley is a beleaguered factory town in transition from its blue-collar past to 21st century suburb, and the changes do not come easy.

Gnawing at the edges of the community's consciousness is the savage and unsolved murder of a young woman twenty-nine years ago. When her twin brother returns to reignite the investigation, old loyalties are tested and deep-rooted animosities smolder and spark into life. The momentum of the investigation gathers strength and old suspicions take on new life.

A new police chief, an outsider been appointed over a home-town favorite, is drawn into a tangled web of complex, intersecting alliances. Building trust and acceptance is a daunting task for the new chief, a former city detective with his own dark past.

Mill Town reveals the tension that propels the truth from deep shadows into the bright light of day. The scenes are beautifully controlled and the characters genuine.

Mill Town is a dead-on portrayal of life in a small town with dialog that is authentic and pitch-perfect. It is an absorbing character study and an inspired mystery.
