The twenty-year anniversary of Vera's serial killer father's arrest is approaching, and she is about to do something she hasn't done in a very long time. Vera is going home.
Her childhood home is a notorious burial ground but also the heart of Vera's warm memories of her then-idolized and beloved father. Now it is a living tomb for her long-estranged, dying mother.
It's hard enough for Vera to even be there, but to make things worse, someone (or something) is stalking her, leaving creepy notes in her father's handwriting and painting fake blood all over the porch. And that's not the only unwelcome guest - a parasitical artist with delusions of granduer has moved into her mother's guest house, oozing charm and stinking of his own plans.
But there are more secrets in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House, and no one could have forseen how this last confrontation would end . . .
