Aernford is the sort of town that people avoid, a town that has its secrets, its issues, its darkness... 

It's a town full of history surrounding the three founding families. It's a town that the Carpenter's thought would be their fresh start. A new chapter. A blank page. 

Shirley and Joseph Carpenter find the town fascinating and easily slip into social networking with it's residents... 

But when her husband turns up dead from a supposed bear attack Shirley Carpenter begins to realize why most people avoid the town and the locals that live within it. 

More secrets are buried in the depths of the waters of the docked ships in Aernford, than are kept in her heart, and as the secrets of her soul begin to spill themselves, so do those of the people she's come to know... 

After all, how far can you really trust strangers, if you can't really trust yourself?
