The year is 1928. Kate Moore is looking for a way out of the poverty and
violence of her childhood. When a chance encounter on a transatlantic
ocean liner brings her face-to-face with the handsome heir to a Chicago
fortune, she thinks she may have found her escape--as long as she can
keep her past concealed.
After exchanging wedding vows, Kate quickly discovers that something
isn't quite right with her husband--or her new family. As Mrs. Matthew
Lemont, she must contend with her husband's disturbing past, his
domineering mother, and his overly close sister. Isolated at Lakecrest,
the sprawling, secluded Lemont estate, she searches desperately for
clues to Matthew's terrors, which she suspects stem from the mysterious
disappearance of his aunt years before. As Kate stumbles deeper into a
maze of family secrets, she begins to question everyone's
sanity--especially her own. But just how far will she go to break free
of this family's twisted past?
