At twenty-five she finds herself in the tabloids of the local gossip column accused of starting a strange, freakish fire, along with bizarre cultist behavior unbefitting to her bible belt small town.

She has twelve months to uncover the truth. Dr. Telford, a psychiatrist helps her examine her dysfunctional upbringing which throws Cass into psychological turmoil.

Cass must pull back the curtains of her childhood and face the secrets she left there, or succumb to a curse that may, or may not exist, and along the way, prove her innocence.
