For nearly a century, she has fiercely protected her love, her family’s secrets, and the legacy bound to the old house that defines her life.

As the investigation deepens, long-buried truths are uncovered, drawing all involved into a tense and emotional confrontation where law and humanity, family loyalty and blood ties, past and present collide — with lives hanging in the balance.
