Colby Grant once ruled Hollywood until scandal, addiction, and a blank page brought him crashing down. With nothing left but a fading reputation and an old typewriter, he returns to Simmons, a quiet North Carolina island filled with ghosts he tried to forget.

Daniel Sutherland, the town’s golden boy and rising political star, has what appears to be the perfect life. But when a reporter starts asking the wrong questions, and an old tragedy resurfaces, the cracks begin to show.

As buried truths emerge and reputations crumble, Colby sees one last chance to write the story that could redeem him. Taut, atmospheric, and layered with betrayal, On an Island is a southern thriller about legacy, manipulation, and how far people will go to keep the truth buried.
