When Sheriff’s Detective Wade Kingsley’s boat explodes on Lake Michigan, he and his son survive while his ex-wife and her new husband die. The police consider Wade the prime suspect, but P.J. Benson, Wade’s girlfriend, is sure, no matter how much Wade didn’t want his ex to take their son to California, he would never resort to murder. Although Wade doesn’t want P.J. involved, she knows she must prove his innocence; after all, she’s just discovered she’s carrying his child. Morning sickness, angry in-laws, a disturbed mother, and a burial site that seems haunted all complicate P.J.’s search for the truth.
