In Harper’s Crossing, the fog creeps in thick, the river flows cold, and the past is never far behind. When college student Daniel Baker disappears into the night, campus security officer Andrew Foster is tasked with finding him. But the search dredges up more than clues—it unearths the haunting echoes of Andrew’s own unresolved loss.

As Andrew delves deeper into the missing boy’s life, he finds unsettling connections to his fractured past and the river that seems to hold all their secrets. The lines blur between memory and reality, duty and redemption, as the case pulls him closer to the answers he’s been avoiding.

The Search Party is a moody and evocative tale of grief, resilience, and the quiet ways people come undone. Suspenseful and poignant, it asks: how do you move forward when the past still pulls at your feet?
