New Yorker Neil Sadler returns to his hometown of Mason, Ohio, where the small-town was rocked by the suspicious death of Helen Syfert, the mother of Neil's friend, Mary. As the pair reconnects, Neil learns their once-close relationship hasn't survived the tragedy of Mary's loss. In time, though, the couple finds that what pushed them apart years ago now seems to be pulling them together. Still, Neil finds himself struggling to recover from a more recent loss, one he keeps tucked in his heart. While the mystery of Helen's death remains unsolved, finding closure will require opening old wounds, mending broken relationships, and facing new fears.
