Thirty-something Alex Owens knows very little about her
childhood or who she really is, her only family an absent,
emotionally fragile mother. Alex spent most of her adulthood
searching for the missing link, drifting from job to job,
relationship to relationship. But when an infant's remains
are unearthed in her hometown in back-country California,
Alex suddenly realises that she has a connection to the
case. As if opening Pandora's box, long-lost memories start
flooding in, dark and terrifying nightmares that haunt her
every waking moment. When she arrives in Sonoma, the
tight-knit community greets Alex with silence and suspicion,
but Alex presses on, determined to get to the heart of a
secret no one wants to see uncovered. As more violent deaths
and a series of deadly rituals shock the small town, Alex is
finally forced to confront the terrible truth about a single
night that changed her family's lives forever...
