After learning of a large inheritance, Todd moves his wife, small
child, and adolescent stepdaughter, Alice, from their cramped SOHO
apartment to the wisteria-draped Georgian town of Congreve. The
heir to a small-town banking fortune, Todd knows all too well the
dangerous snare of greed, but the promise of the good life is too
much for the struggling artist to resist. However, when the
pressures of an industry he doesn't understand become too much for
him to bear, he finds comfort in liquid escape. Barely thirteen,
Alice does her best to understand the dark flashes of violence
creeping into her new life. She tries to ignore her new Aunt who
only has eyes for younger half sister, and keeps a watchful eye on
her troubled cousin, but the dark secret hidden behind the gabbled
upstairs window of the Broderick mansion is about to set fire to
her once-fairytale existence. In Athena Alexis' southern gothic
tale of greed, incest, and murder, money may be the root of all
evil, but truth is the greatest sin of all.
