A stifling world of guilt, pain and the tormented souls who inhabit it. It is 1972 when circumstance carries Ellen Grier and her family back to Holly\'s Field, Wisconsin. Ellen has brought her two children into the home of her in-laws on Vinegar Hill--a loveless house suffused with the settling dust of bitterness and routine--where calculated cruelty is a way of life. Behind a facade of false piety, there are sins and secrets in this place. Ellen must find the strength to endure the all-pervading darkness that threatens to destroy everything she is and everyone she loves.
