After an absence of almost twelve years, tragedy forces Evangeline George to return to her small home town. Her brother, his wife and their two young daughters are dead, and it is now up to Evangeline to organise the family's affairs and lay to rest the ghosts of the past.
But the ghosts will not be exorcised so easily, and as Evangeline strips back the layers of deception like flesh from a bone, she unwittingly finds herself caught in a deadly web of secrets.
