You’ve always been the one to run when things get too close, but in the misty coastal town of Oakhaven, there’s nowhere left to hide. In Beneath Crimson Tides, you step into the shoes of Anya, a college student haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. You came here for a fresh start, a chance to breathe the salty air and forget the shadows that followed you from the city. But the ocean has a way of washing up what we try hardest to conceal, and the secrets lurking beneath the surface are beginning to pull you under. As you navigate the halls of the local university and the rugged cliffs of the shore, you aren't alone. Your childhood friend, the one person who truly knows the girl you used to be, is there to catch you when you stumble.
