The tale centers around a young couple who had disappeared three decades earlier. Their names—Miles and Diane.
Pulled away from Oak Lake for good, a result of family issues, Miles must fight his way back there, in order to learn the hidden truths about the missing couple, as well as some shocking revelations concerning his own life. But will Celia Walton, a new love at home, complicate things, or is her involvement all part of Diane’s master plan? In the end, Miles must make an emotional decision that will affect his future in ways unimaginable, and one girl will be heartbroken. Or will she?

His son, Jake, alters the agreement, setting in motion a destructive pendulum that swings relentlessly for generations to come.

Through World War I, Prohibition, and the modernization of America, the South Carolina land and its ghosts remain common ground in a prolonged chess match between the two clans. Unfortunately, neither family can ever fully prosper unless all the stray pieces find their rightful place and balance is restored, but justice proves elusive in the shadow of America’s darkest social blemish.
