Some traumas never leave. Some secrets fight to be uncovered.

Delaney West is a private investigator with a supernatural edge — and a history she’d rather bury. When the entitled, violent son of two influencer grifters goes missing, Delaney’s hired to find him. But what starts out as a simple case spirals into something far darker, connected to her traumatic past and a buried power she never asked for.

Across town, Anika is a waitress haunted by blackouts, addiction, and a violent boyfriend who vanished under mysterious circumstances. She has no idea the secrets locked inside her mind are worth killing for.

As Delaney digs deeper, and Anika teeters on the edge of relapse, their stories twist into each other — and into something sinister. Because behind the missing persons and whispered threats lies a truth that can’t stay hidden forever. Not from the people hunting it. And not from the force inside Delaney that refuses to stay quiet.

The Secret Within is a raw, genre-bending blend of Sharp Objects and Veronica Mars — part psychic noir, part psychological thriller — with two unforgettable women, one long-buried trauma, and a darkness you can’t unsee.
