Not a lot happens in Pine Bluff and Tony has had enough of living the shadow of his father's memory and huanted by the memory of his mother's death when he was a small boy. He has decided to retire and one week before his he is to set off to the keys of Florida the skeletal remains of a young woman are discovered near the home where his mother was last seen alive and evidence soon arises that leads him to believe that the man convicted of the crime over 30 years ago may in fact be innocent.
