A rainy night, an Amish father returning home with his three
children, a speeding car hurtling toward them out of nowhere.
What at first seems like a tragic, but routine car accident
suddenly takes on a more sinister cast as evidence emerges that
nothing about the crash is accidental. But who would want to kill
an Amish deacon and two of his children?
He leaves behind a grieving widow and a young son who clings to
life in the intensive care wing of a hospital, unable to
communicate. Desperate to find out who killed her best friend's
husband and why, Kate begins to suspect she is not looking for a
reckless drunk, but instead is on the trail of a cold blooded
killer in the heart of Painter's Mill. It is a search that takes
her on a chilling journey into the darkest reaches of the human
heart and strikes at the heart of everything she has ever
believed about the Amish culture into which she was born.
