Andrea Carmichael is a twenty-something artist who can't shake the feeling that her firefighter father may have had something to do with her mother's death when Andrea was just a girl. Despite their nine-year estrangement, she decides to take a trip to her hometown to confront him about her fears, but when she arrives she finds he has mysteriously disappeared...and that her mother led a secret life of sorts, beginning with the beautiful paintings Andrea never knew her mom was capable of and ending with a hand-written journal full of fairy tales. Her hometown suddenly seems full of secrets as people she doesn't even know offer their own theories as to what may have happened to her father, and just when she finds a clue to his whereabouts, the mystery takes a sharp turn. Between the people she thought she knew and the strangers who quickly become fixtures in her life, Andrea doesn't know who to believe. Suddenly, she learns of a secret world behind her childhood, one filled with adultery, lies, and murder.
