The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime.

One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbors handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasnt felt in years.
