Dakota Maddison, small business owner and tattoo artist, makes a life changing decision when she closes her shop in the city to reopen it in a small, tourist town. Longing for a quieter life and slower pace, she chooses a town she’s familiar with, one she used to vacation in when she was a child.
Excited about her move, she hadn’t prepared for the reluctance from many of the residents about opening her business in their town. If their resistance toward her wasn’t enough, two days after she arrived, a local, competitive swimmer’s body was found floating in a pool at the recreation center with a copy of Dakota’s flash art in her possession.
Dakota’s desire for a calmer lifestyle is all but forgotten when a detective informs her that all the evidence in the swimmer’s death points to her. As the prime suspect in what has been declared a murder, will she be able to find a way to clear her name, maintain her freedom, and keep her business afloat?
