AnnaLise's philandering father's attempt to 'do right' by his many
heirs goes deadly wrong
Journalist AnnaLise Griggs' return to her hometown in North Carolina's
western mountains has led to some unexpected surprises - most notably
the discovery that legendary womanizer Dickens Hart is her birth father,
and she an heir to Hart's huge fortune.
Founder of the White Tail Lodge - a High Country knock-off of the
Playboy concept - Hart now claims he wants to 'do right' by any other
children he may have fathered. To that end, he's invited all his former
lovers and potential heirs, including AnnaLise and her own mother,
Daisy, to what Hart envisions as a festive Thanksgiving weekend at the
sprawling lakeside mansion.
But not everybody is in a celebratory mood, and when a body is
discovered dead in the bed, AnnaLise is left with the impossible task of
identifying the killer.
