The Weight of Silence
A coastal village haunted by grief. A journalist chasing a forgotten child. A mute fisherman who knows the truth.
Ten years ago, a boy vanished during a violent storm off a remote fishing village-no search, no report, no answers. The sea swallowed the secret, and the village chose silence.
Now, Iris Calder, a relentless investigative journalist, arrives with one goal: uncover what really happened to her nephew Jakob. The townspeople deny everything. The only witness? A mute fisherman named Elias who hasn't spoken in a decade-and who bears the burden of what he saw.
As Iris digs deeper, buried truths begin to surface: whiskey smuggling gone wrong, a child lost to the tide, and a conspiracy sealed by guilt. But the more she pushes, the more the village cracks. Violence flares. Old loyalties fracture. And Elias must decide whether to break his silence... or let the past drown once again.
A haunting psychological mystery set on the storm-ravaged coast, The Weight of Silence explores how far people will go to protect the truth-and what it costs to reveal it.
