In the small town of Bonnet's Landing, PA, the lives of seven people are about to change. For two couples, Michael and Helen Dempsey, and Peter and Lenore Margand, the facades of their marriages will be torn away. A series of grisly murders sets the town on edge. As the Rev. Noah Mathis and his wife Esther minister to the community, the small town's lone detective, Savile Bateau, a twenty year veteran of the Pittsburgh PD, is soon overwhelmed at the number of bodies that begin to turn up. At the center of it all lies a forbidden and fragile love that tries to survive the storm around it. All their lives converge to reveal treachery, deceit, and murder. Who survives and who doesn't depends on your definition of survival.
