The story opens with a torrid sexual encounter between an unnamed man and woman. By the end of the chapter, readers learn that the woman is the sister of the man's wife. Although told from the husband's point of view, this is Genevieve's story--about a woman who has walked away from her past and is reinventing herself. It is about a woman who is a mystery to her husband. Genevieve and her husband are drawn into her dark and disturbing family history when they return to Genevieve's southern hometown for her grandmother's funeral. Dickey's characters are fleshed out, as they are forced to come to terms with the past, but not without a good measure of sex, betrayal, shock, love and understanding.
