On the dark side of town, what's past is never really past. And what's buried is never really dead.
Melissa Sweet is in a delicate state. She's a clinical nurse in a small southern town who, after a career-ending accident and the accusations of foul play that followed, is just now starting to put her life back together. She's got her mom, her troubled brother, and her fiancé Jack to keep her grounded, and right now she's taking life one uneasy day at a time. But tormented by a harrowing act of violence, she makes an impulsive move that changes her life-and the lives of those she loves-forever. This unleashes a disorienting cycle of brutality and revelation as she reckons with the blood of her own past and the blood of those who transgressed against her.
And it will force Melissa to confront the fiercest, most unrelenting monster of all: herself.
