In an unnamed town in the American south, following the death of unreliable protagonist Brian's mother, Brian's uncle Jim moves in to help operate the family's peach orchard. Brian seethes with resentment against every aspect of his uncle's character, from Jim's dismissal of Brian's meek father, to his sleazy and smooth talking personality, to Jim's increasingly dubious interest in the young woman Brian is quickly falling for. Brian sinks deeper into grief for his mother, self-contempt, trepidation for what his own future holds, and the general turmoil of adolescence, all the while feeling powerless against Jim's infiltration upon the structure of Brian's life and youth. Tension builds against a small town gothic backdrop in this family saga of heartache and rivalry.

Life was simpler when it was just her and Alex, her steadfast childhood sweetheart. Alex's easygoing charm and familiar warmth had always made her feel safe-like home. But lately, their love, once full of promise, has started to feel like a cage. Then came Damien.

With him, she felt free-alive in a way she never had before. As her feelings for Damien grew, so did her guilt. Alex had stood by her through everything, through heartbreaks and triumphs.
