Story

It’s summer in the idyllic northern English village of Stanning. Beth is poised to become the CEO of the biggest company in the valley, on the cusp of settling down, maybe having a couple kids. Life seems so straight-forward, but something’s
missing…

Many years ago, Beth found an earring while metal detecting on a local farm. It brought her brief fame (and a modest sum of cash for a pre-teen), but— most importantly—it made her feel special. But she never found the earring’s match.

Beth’s renewed search for the long-lost earring
will unearth much more than she's bargained for.
