Robert Oakhurst and his identical twin brother, Andrew, have never seen eye-to-eye. Robert has always tolerated Andrew's underachievement, disappointment, and embarrassment, until the summer 1995. That summer Robert tags along with Andrew on an unexpected road trip, planning on protecting Andrew from himself, but instead learns Andrew's disturbing secret. By the time they return they become bitter enemies. Andrew's secret and destructive behavior eventually lands him in prison and Robert is haunted by the consequences of his brother's actions. Now, Robert has learned that Andrew's body has been found in Parson's End, a small town in the eastern desert of Utah, and he couldn't be happier. The brother who had caused him so much sorrow is finally dead, and all he has to do is identify the body, and he can finally say good riddance to his no-good twin. But as he enters Parson's End, nothing is as it seems. It's a deserted town with a dark secret, and Robert soon finds himself caught in a deadly game. The same game he fears Andrew was caught in. And his only chance to make it out alive is to finally face the demons of his past.
