In the lonely frontier town of Copper Creek, a dust storm drives Sheriff Jack Holloway to seek shelter in a long-forgotten hotel—where time has stood still, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Jack Holloway lives by order, law, and quiet routine. But when a violent storm forces him off course, he stumbles upon the Avalon Hotel, a grand and crumbling relic frozen in elegance and silence. Within its weathered walls, he finds unexpected company in a guarded stranger and a place thick with unspoken history.

As Jack recovers, the Avalon reveals more than just creaking floorboards and untouched dining halls. Whispers of old tragedies linger in the air, and not everything is as abandoned as it seems. With every passing day, secrets unravel—some etched in the building itself, others behind guarded eyes.

Set against the raw beauty of the American West, The Last Guest at Avalon Hotel is a tale of quiet yearning, forgotten fortunes, and the defiant power of connection in a world that punishes vulnerability. When the past comes knocking, and old enemies return to stake their claim, Jack must decide what he's truly willing to protect—and what he's finally ready to feel.

Some places remember. Some hearts do, too.
