Returning to Preston's Bluff was something she vowed she'd never do... To fulfill the dying wish of a former acquaintance, Jessica Murphy returns to the small, rural hometown she was run out of fourteen years earlier. Still troubled by her past, she must now address the ugliness of her childhood in the deserted, run-down cabin she grew up in. But facing the old ghosts that seem to be lurking around the cabin and woods is not the worst of her problems - she must also deal with the family of the boy she murdered back in high school. To make matters worse, her childhood bullies have started coming around again and they haven't changed one bit. Nick Preston hates that his stepbrother's killer has returned to town in spite of the fact that, at his wife's insistence, he was the one to have pushed her into returning in the first place. Frustrated that Jessica seems to be digging in her heels about staying in the area, Nick also discovers that his teenage son, who has become more and more distant lately, has befriended her. Now Nick must keep an eye on the one woman he truly despises, for his son's sake.
