Hollow Creek - Before the Thunder

Clara Smith has spent her life running—never staying long enough to belong, never letting anyone get too close.

When a letter arrives announcing a parole hearing for the man she’s been hiding from, the life she built begins to crack. Before she can decide what to do next, a call pulls her somewhere she never expected—

A small town in Alabama.

A grandmother she never knew.

A past that isn’t as empty as she believed.

Hollow Creek is quiet. The kind of place where people know each other, where time slows down—and where the land holds onto its secrets.

But something isn’t right.

The deeper Clara settles in, the more the town begins to reveal. A disappearance no one can explain. A history buried beneath generations. And a presence that lingers just out of sight.

Because in Hollow Creek, the past doesn’t stay buried.

And Clara may not have been running from the only thing that could find her.
