Summary
Behind every perfectly coiffed realtor smile, there's a story, and for Laurel Atwood, it’s a daily battle to keep her world from crumbling. Laurel navigates the precise, expensive world of her mother's assisted living facility, where every moment is a calculated cost, and every kind lie is an act of mercy. But Laurel's biggest challenge isn't just the math; it's the "monster" she’s trying to sell. The abandoned Ohio River Ironworks – a place of ghosts, wild foxes, and a dark family history – is her golden ticket, yet selling it means paving over her father's memory and destroying the last wild heart of the city. She sees a sanctuary in the ruins, but the developers only see luxury condos.
