Lake George

Fresh out of prison, a brilliant numbers man who built his life on ledgers and loopholes is pulled back into the business he thought he left behind. His old boss gives him one final, brutal assignment: make the uncomfortable problem disappear before she can speak. As he slips into a world that trades spreadsheets for surveillance and spreadsheets for silence, the calm, methodical precision that once protected him becomes the tool of a darker trade.

Stalking the edges of a picturesque lakeside town, he must reconcile the clean logic of finance with the dirty instincts of survival—planning a murder like a balance sheet while trying to account for the unpredictable: love, doubt, and the human errors that never show up in reports. Loyalties fracture, and every carefully calculated move risks exposing not only the boss’s empire but the fragile moral code he thought was buried with his cellmate.

With the serene surface of Lake George as a cold counterpoint to the escalating tension, this taut thriller follows a man forced to choose between self-preservation and conscience. Deception and consequence collide in a relentless countdown, and the final reconciliation between who he was and who he must become is as unforgiving as the crime he’s been ordered to commit.
