Margie Robineau, fighting for her family's long-held allotment land, uncovers events connected to a long-ago escape plan, and the burial--at once figurative and painfully real--of not one crime but two. While Margie pieces the facts together, Dale Ann is confronted by her own tightly held secrets and the truth that the long ago and the now are all indelibly linked, no matter how much we try to forget.
