Synopsis

When the past refuses to stay buried, even the stillest waters ripple.

At Saltonstall Lake, a place once filled with laughter, summer games, and promises of forever, one man finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his dearest friends. As the sun sets and the cicadas fall silent, memories blur into visions—fragments of baseball games, confessions of love, songs once sung to crowded rooms.

But the night reveals more than nostalgia. Rebecca, the friend who vanished long ago, returns to him on the lakeshore. Her presence is tender yet tragic, carrying truths too heavy to ignore. Together they confront the bonds they thought unbreakable, the betrayals they never forgave, and the choices that left them stranded in silence.

A haunting tale of friendship, regret, and the secrets that surface when the water finally goes still.
