Runs Deep

In the heart-pounding violence of a life-threatening storm, a relentless killer prowls the shadows, seeking the perfect cover for a deadly game.

A decade ago, the quiet town of Millners Kill was rocked by the brutal murder of Simone Granger. Sixteen-year-old Steve Kane took the fall, convicted for a crime he swears he didn't commit—the slaying of his best friend's sister. Now, out on parole, Steve returns to a town that despises him, seeking only to reclaim his life.

In the tight-knit community, Steve finds solace in the support of his grandmother, brother, and the tenacious State Police Investigator Declan Reed. He intends to lie low, rebuild, and put the past behind him. But fate has other plans.

As the storm of the century descends upon Millners Kill, a grim tableau unfolds—the bodies of victims stacking up, and Steve becomes the prime suspect. The town, unhinged and seeking justice, fixates its rage on one man.

Steve is convinced of his innocence, but in a town gripped by fury, finding the real killer becomes a perilous race against time. In this gripping crime thriller, where trust is scarce, and danger lurks in every shadow, Steve must navigate the storm within and around him. Will he evade the relentless pursuit, or will the tempest of suspicion consume the chance for justice he so desperately seeks?
