When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vic Gomez, of murdering her wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. After all, he was caught standing over the bodies with blood on his hands and can't remember anything about the night in question. Tessa knows her brother would never be capable of such a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family to Fall River in the first place, she sets out to prove her brother's innocence. The search for answers will lead into a sprawling, supposedly cursed forest-- and into the childhood home of Lizzie Borden, the original axe murderess of Fall River. -- adapted from jacket
