Electrician Nathan Bell hasn't been home to Marrow, Ohio in two years. Now his dying mother is asking for him, and the house on Chestnut Street is acting wrong - lights on in empty rooms, a television murmuring down the hall at 3 a.m. As Nathan digs into his family's buried past, he learns the whole town helped his mother fake a death twenty years ago, and somebody has been keeping the secret ever since.
