En una empobrecida zona de los montes Ozark, en Misuri, en un pueblo pequeño con grandes secretos, dos niñas de doce años aparecen asesinadas. Sin nada que perder y rota de dolor, Eve Taggert se lanza a averiguar qué le ocurrió realmente a su hija. Eve conoce el lado oscuro de la vida. Su propia madre se encargó de enseñárselo. Una dura lección que ella ha tratado desesperadamente de evitar a su pequeña Junie. Pero, contra todos sus instintos, quizá Eve necesite recurrir a la cruel fortaleza que le inculcó su madre para afrontar la verdad sobre el crimen... y sobre su auténtica naturaleza. Una historia poderosa y afilada sobre lazos familiares, sobre mujeres que luchan en circunstancias extremas y sobre cómo incluso los lugares más oscuros y aterradores pueden ofrecerte el refugio del hogar.

There is life beyond the fence. But I can't outrun my past. For my actions have set off a treasonous chain of events in Westfall that will change all of our fates—especially Bishop's. And this time, it is not enough to just survive...
