Ivy is approached by her neighbor (and former friend) Virginia with a story of celestial visitation. Soon Ivy begins to unravel a disturbing web of secrets involving Virginia's family and a religious cult with dangerous plans. Hughes combines character complexity and poetic prose with plenty of dramatic tension to create a cinematic sequence of events in this intriguing page-turner.
