A mother's love. A son's life snuffed out. A killer at
large. Snapshots of reality, except sometimes layered
images do not add up to a whole picture of the truth.
Better than anyone, photographer Rachel Copeland knows the
camera can lie. That's how lurid altered pictures of her
appeared on the Internet, starting a downward spiral that
ended with her shooting a nineteen-year-old stalker in
self-defense. Fleeing the press and the threats of an
unidentified female caller, she retreats to her remote
hometown in the Texas desert. In Marfa, where mysterious
lights hover in the night sky, folks are used to the
unexplainable, and a person's secrets are off limits. But
recluse Zeke Pike takes that philosophy even further than
Rachel herself. In her viewfinder Zeke's male sensuality
is highlighted, his unexpressed longing for human contact
revealed. Through a soft-focus lens, she sees a future for
them beyond their red-hot affair, never guessing their
relationship will expose the lovers to more danger than
either can imagine.
