Summary

It was a peaceful day on Shaeffer Street, where the quiet hum of daily life filled the air in this close-knit, working-class neighborhood of Peace Dale, Rhode Island.

Neighbors quickly set aside their tasks, joining together to search the streets, comb nearby parks, and hold onto hope. Little did they know, the answers lay closer than they could imagine.
