A dark, morally complex crime investigation that strips away the veneer of small-town Christian piety to expose violence, abuse, and moral compromise lurking beneath.

A small Oklahoma town is stripped of its innocence when one of its boys turns up mute and bloodied by the lakeside. Unable to tell his story, the local sheriff embarks on a quest to uncover the roots of a gruesome crime. He's led to Ainsley DuPree and her new husband, Jack, a man whose interest in family may very well outweigh his morals.
