Mark Muller and his wife buy a small country cottage and 100 acres in picturesque Columbia County, New York, as a weekend retreat. Mark and his wife soon encounter an escalating wave of missing items and vandalism that threatens his weekend solitude. As Muller investigates he uncovers a mystery dating back 35 years; which is still unfolding and affecting the lives of those involved. A moral dilemma develops that forces previously unimaginable choices and compels him into an examination of his own life and beliefs. Set in the beautiful hills of Columbia County, the 'old' clashes with the 'new' as weekenders and second home owners gradually contest for primacy in the community and reshape its character. Muller, caught in these forces, struggles to uncover the mystery and bring redemption to himself and the land. Rich with local folklore, his story is beautiful and moving, about biblical truths, lost love and the redemptive power that can reshape life in the face of tragedy.
