Chantalene has terrible nightmares from when she was a child-a dark barn in a moonlit field, her mother inside, screaming, her father hanging from the rafters. Four hooded figures leave the scene, their faces hidden in shadow. But in the deep recesses of her memory, she knows who they are. After going away to college, Chantalene returns to her tiny, rural hometown in Southeastern Oklahoma determined to expose the people who hanged her father for a crime he didn't commit. In the process, she runs afoul of the law and is suspected of a separate murder. With the help of another former resident, attorney Drew Sander, she challenges the entire town in order to find the truth... including the foster parents who took her in and loved her as their own.
