Life in a quaint Appalachian community is disrupted by scandals which seem to coincide with the arrival of a mysterious man. During a wedding reception, a man's body is discovered in the creek; the local bar owner-operator has been secretly battling addictions while his store falls into serious disrepair; a naive yet desperate young lady falls for a reluctant gentleman working up to malicious intentions encouraged by peer pressure; all while the sheriff and his deputy are trying to make sense of everything. The constant presence of rain cannot conceal the truth, and the revelations along the way make this backwoods mystery plot compelling and entertaining on humorous and heartfelt levels alike.
