Though raised in a life of privilege, Marisa Joubert, too, has escaped a terrible fate and understands the fear of being alone, pennilness and frightened. Determined to start over and support her young son alone, she lands a position at Wainscott as a bookkeeper. Yet almost immediately she senses that something there is very wrong.
When one of the young women disappears, Marisa's suspicions escalate. Especially about Jimmy, the janitor, who may not be as innocent as he pretends to be. He is a man who could be a friend or an enemy, a man who could be searching for answers...or desperately trying to cover them up. Marisa knows he's somehow involved in the mysterious events at Wainscott. But which side is he on?
