A body in a derelict barn pulls park ranger Ruth Baker into a town that buries its secrets deep. The deeper she digs, the more the quiet land starts to feel like it's watching back.

The orchard's trees grow heavy and red over ground no one will till. Ruth Baker learns what the roots have been drinking, and why the family that owns it never sells a single acre.
