Snowpack levels are the highest recorded in fifty years. If the thaw comes too fast, the river that runs through Echo Falls could flood the entire valley.To most people, it looks like a natural disaster waiting to happen.To investigative journalist Rowan Vale, it looks like a plan.After exposing the sports manipulation scandal that rocked the town, Rowan hoped the worst was over. But strange survey markers begin appearing along the riverbanks. Federal consultants quietly arrive. Property assessments suddenly change overnight.And entire neighborhoods receive buyout offers that seem too generous to refuse.Rowan knows the pattern now.Helix does not destroy systems.
