Charlotte Cain has always looked up to the fine lifestyle of her older cousin, Sylvia. The two girls are both born to families as only children, and grow up like sisters in the small post-war prairie town, Redding- one of the smallest hamlets of picturesque inland Connecticut.

   Throughout their childhoods, Charlotte looks to Sylvia as a model of excitement and glamour, fashion and good fortune. Though only a year younger than Charlotte, Sylvia is always the first in line to receive the best of life's good fortunes: the first to finish school, the first to find out the forbidden secrets of desire and the first to find the path to the perfect ivy league education, setting her free from the shackled life of small town splendour- leaving Charlotte behind to receive the leftovers of what she believes to be a lesser fate.

The pique of Sylvia's planned paradise seems to seal itself when the appearance of a new man in town leaves her inadvertently swept off her feet. But this time it is naive Charlotte whose life will take an unexpected turn and as it twists, she soon discovers her path- however humble - will be forever changed.

Tumbling down the unfamiliar rabbit hole of forbidden offerings, dark desires and compromised morality, Charlotte and Sylvia soon discover the tenuous strength of a sister's bond when the impulsive thresholds of desire outstretch the preservation of familial bliss.All Rights Reserved
