Sutton Vancamp needs a comeback. A disgraced investigative journalist turned true crime podcaster, she moves into the decaying Blackwood Estate to document its renovation and salvage her career. But when she swings a sledgehammer into a structural wall, she uncovers more than just dry rot. Hidden within the library’s skeleton is a cache of sealed letters from thirty years ago. As Sutton begins reading them live on her podcast, 'The Hook,' she realizes the writer wasn't just venting—they were documenting a murder. The letters contain intimate, terrifying details about an unsolved local disappearance, and every clue points to Sterling Gable, a powerful former judge who still rules the town from the shadows. What started as a viral sensation quickly turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Gable is watching, and he has no intention of letting his legacy be dismantled by a podcaster with a microphone. From the shadowy hallways of a historic mansion to the wall of silence protecting the valley’s elite, Sutton must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for the truth. Because in Blackwood, the static between the walls isn't just interference—it's a warning. And some secrets are better left buried under the floorboards.
