With little interest in others outside of her immediate circle, Mets moves from day-to-day unbothered until one night she comes into contact with the very information that may have gotten her husband killed. Aware that the situation is bigger than anything she could handle, Mets is reluctant to get involved until she is challenged by a most unlikely person. Allying with local lawyer, Ellis Alexander Dabney-Sinclair, Mets begins to untangle the threads of hidden secrets that lay within the heart of Thibeaux County, threatening to shake the very foundations of the town she has come to love.
