Highwater is a town haunted by the Hollow Minute—a mysterious phenomenon that steals memories, moments, and sometimes entire lives. When Sarah arrives searching for a quiet escape, she discovers instead a community fighting to keep itself from being erased. Armed only with a notebook, a pocket watch, and the help of Steven and the townspeople, Sarah becomes the unlikely guardian of Highwater’s fragile reality. As the Keeper in the fog grows stronger, Sarah must confront the shadows threatening the town’s past, present, and future. In a place where remembering is survival, Sarah learns that even the smallest memory can anchor a life—and that forgetting comes with a price.
