A year after Mae's sister Ro's mysterious death, Ro's boyfriend shows up at their coastal Alabama estate--apparently with no memory of the past year or Ro's death, for which he's been blamed. Spurred into investigating, Mae discovers Ro's occult journal and centuries-old family secrets. A drawn-out plot mars this spooky, atmospheric Southern Gothic tale.
