In the tradition of Southern storytelling, the plot swelters around rich characters whose ages are not defined by years but by drama, endless drama. Once Carl feels betrayed by Karra, he attempts to make her life a living hell. Carl’s wife, his sons, Karra and her friends, all experience the backlash of revenge. Sexual assaults, chronic addictions and paralyzing secrets are revealed. Private investigators, murder-for-hire plots and near death experiences changes the characters’ lives forever and leaves the reader begging for more pages to turn.
