To the outside world, Cypress Springs, Louisiana, is a postcard-perfect town where moral, decent citizens lead safe, wholesome lives. But outsiders, it seems, don't fare so well.
When journalist Avery Chauvin returns home to Cypress Springs after twelve years, it's as if time has stood still. Yet for her everything has changed - her mother died a year ago and now her father is gone. Devastated by her father's suicide and her inability to save him, Avery has taken a leave of absence from her newspaper job to come back and put his affairs in order. But in truth, she has come looking for answers. How could her father, a physician who dedicated himself to preserving life, have taken his own?
As Avery begins the heartbreaking task of cleaning out her parents' home, she discovers a box of fifteen-year-old newspaper articles covering the brutal murder of a young woman in Cypress Springs. Why, she wonders, did her father keep the clippings? Then Avery meets a newcomer to Cypress Springs - a woman looking into her brother's sudden disappearance and into whispered rumors of strange happenings in town.
