Since the death of their parents, Roguey, Maeve, and Jer have cared for one another and for Sorristown, their elegant home.

A week before the wedding, her bridesmaid Mary arrives. Meeting her for the first time, Rowley describes Mary as ³a factor for disturbance,² little realizing how prophetic his words will prove for each of them.
