In the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi in 1967, a terrible
tragedy took the lives of two brothers and a beautiful young girl.
During the next forty years, the events of that night became the stuff
of local legend. But legend is often just another word for lie. Joe
McCandless knows what really happened; he saw it all. The question is
whether or not he can bring himself to tell the truth in time to save
his own troubled sons, and whether the ghosts left behind by an act of
violence will help him or tear the McCandless family apart forever.
