Every marriage is haunted. Haunted by the past, and the shadow of guilt that creeps over the heart from words spoken in anger, and all the rest that's left unsaid. Hank Stanford, a small town lawyer, is frustrated with his life, and his marriage. Determined to drag all the skeletons from the closet of his marriage and salvage what is left of the love that he's shared with his wife of twenty years, he ditches the mistress and goes home to clear his conscience. But it's too late for redemption. His wife is dead...by her own hand. What follows is a nightmare of family secrets, incest, madness and murder. His tormented wife might be dead, but the terrible secrets she took to the grave are not, and the husband she left behind is about to find out that death is not always the end-- of love, of life... or of fear.
