The house has been waiting for over two decades.
Kevan feels it the moment she steps onto the property: her grandmother’s final gift, an abandoned structure deep in the woods where she played as a child. But she doesn’t want it; she tells herself she’ll sell it. Leave the past buried where it belongs.
But her mind insists on digging it up.
As an artist, her collages have always been intuitive, but now they’re telling a story she doesn’t understand. Images she’s been clipping and arranging for months suddenly take on new meaning: a house from the past, numbers that won’t let go, names that feel like warnings, and a girl’s face she can’t place.
When a stranger named Nathan appears asking about his sister, a girl who vanished the same summer Kevan’s childhood went blank, she realizes the house isn’t the only thing keeping secrets.
Some memories aren’t lost.
They’re locked away for a reason.
And Kevan is starting to fear she’s the one who holds the key.
Where Secrets Stay was inspired by actual events.
