Description

In the Chilcotin summer of 1986, college English teacher Johanna Kent is loved by everyone, until she is prompted by a book she reads to reveal her darkest secret to her family and friends, and the results are fatal. Noah Hanlon, the Chilcotin shaman and artist, asks his friend Raven to help him solve the ensuing mystery, while her daughter, Mary Kent, seeks for her own answers through her mother's literary studies.
