A detective returns to his hometown to investigate a murder, only to discover the weapon is the same handgun he and three classmates secretly buried under a cherry tree 23 years ago --- with his first love now the prime suspect. The tone is slow-burn suspense steeped in nostalgia and guilt. The core conflict is the collision between duty and loyalty: solving the case means exposing a shared childhood secret that could destroy everyone involved, exploring themes of buried guilt, the inescapable past, and trust.
