New Girl in the Falls

🔍 The Plot:

FBI Agent Spenser Song arrives in Sweetwater Falls seeking sanctuary after her husband’s brutal murder and a near-fatal encounter while on duty. Tasked with bringing peace to this serene town as its new sheriff, she hopes the mountains and lakes will soothe her shattered spirit—but tranquility proves fleeting.

When a local woman turns up murdered, Spenser teams up with her gruff Navy SEAL landlord, Ryker Makawi.

What follows is a pulse-pounding blend of crime procedural and emotional journey. Spenser must confront her trauma while unravelling a case that is anything but straightforward—and stand strong in a community where everyone has something to hide.

🧨 The Hook:

This isn’t just another small-town murder — it’s a haunting collision of past and present, where the line between healing and danger blurs. Spenser’s personal stakes elevate the stakes of the investigation: the closer she gets to the truth, the more her own fragile world is pulled back into the chaos she fled.
