Description
To the outside world, the sleepy little town of Cobalt, nestled in Northern Ontario, barely registers a passing glance. With fewer than 1,000 residents and a landscape scarred by over 100 abandoned mines, its glory days as the epicenter of the world's greatest silver rush in the early 1900s are long buried beneath dust and silence.
But when investigative journalist Reyna Rushmore arrives, what began as a routine assignment quickly spirals into something far more sinister. A cryptic trail of clues buried in the town's forgotten past leads her to suspect a chilling connection between Cobalt's desolate shafts and the sudden, suspicious rise of a billion-dollar electric vehicle battery plant in Windsor.
As Reyna digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets, corporate greed, and buried truths that powerful forces would kill to keep hidden. In a race against time, she must navigate a treacherous path through lies, legacy, and lethal intent -- before the conspiracy claims its next victim.
In a town where history sleeps beneath the surface, some secrets refuse to stay buried.
At the same time, in the small Florida town of Baldwin, a tractor-trailer laden with fresh fruit and vegetables breaks down. For the owner-operator driver, it's the last straw. Not only is he broke, but he loses his lover and partner, who's fed up with living paycheck to paycheck.
Stranded at a truck stop, he meets a mysterious person who appears to have a simple solution to his problems. But sometimes simple solutions are too good to be true. Sucked into a web of intrigue and crime, Marco Ferrero tries to discover what he's got himself into. As the mystery deepens, powerful and ruthless people seek his demise. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues in the search for the truth.
Reyna and Marco's paths converge in a collision of secrets and danger, thrusting them into a high-stakes, life-threatening showdown. As the conspiracy tightens its grip, survival becomes uncertain -- and Reyna must risk everything to expose the truth before it's buried forever.
