In the year 2000, Cedar Grove looks like a snapshot of the 1950s, with its vintage diners, classic cars, and traditional charm. But beneath the surface of this sleepy Oregon town lies a tangled web of secrets. When Kellyn Stone, a young man seeking a fresh start, arrives in Cedar Grove, he’s immediately drawn to the mysterious and rebellious Luca Blackwood. Luca, born and raised in Cedar Grove, carries the weight of the town's hidden darkness, a past he can't escape.
As Kellyn settles into the town's seemingly idyllic atmosphere, he uncovers that Cedar Grove isn't as peaceful as it seems. Its residents are stuck in time, yet surprisingly supportive of those who dare to defy the norms. With 99% of the town accepting of people like Kellyn and Luca, the last 1% might just prove to be deadly.
Drawn together by a shared understanding of the town's strange allure and danger, Kellyn and Luca must navigate a world frozen in time while grappling with their undeniable attraction to each other. But as the shadows of Cedar Grove creep closer, the two men realize that survival here means confronting both the town’s dark past and their own hidden truths. In Cedar Grove, nothing is what it seems—and falling in love might just be the most dangerous thing of all.
Welcome to Cedar Grove.
