When Harbor Point's inaugural Coffee & Maritime Heritage Festival should be Maggie Porter's moment to shine, it instead dredges up secrets best left buried. As the former investigative journalist showcases her coffee shop's rare heirloom seedling, a controversial historian arrives with explosive claims about Harbor Point's founding families -- including Maggie's own ancestors.

When ancient navigational markers and coded family traditions lead to the discovery of deliberately sunken ships hidden offshore for 150 years, tensions boil over. The historian's accusations transform from academic theory to dangerous obsession, and the festival's celebratory atmosphere darkens like storm clouds gathering over the harbor.

As competing historical narratives threaten to divide the community, Maggie finds herself navigating treacherous waters -- both literally and figuratively. When the historian is found dead near the harbor docks, the mystery deepens beyond academic debate into matters of life and death.

With Detective Cooper juggling an investigation and festival security, Maggie must use her journalistic instincts to uncover whether Harbor Point was truly built on deception -- and whether someone would kill to keep the past buried. Meanwhile, clues revealed in her grandmother's journal suggest the Porter family legacy is more complicated than she ever imagined.
