For fans of psychological thrillers, comes a new riveting mystery with mind-bending suspense that follows the life of an unconventional, American family a part of a private group in Antioch, Illinois; and their son's relentless journey to escape from it.

Five years before his alleged suicide, Marlowe Higgins ran away from home and never looked back. He was born and raised in a cult that worked to improve the human condition by separating themselves from all basic human activity. For his whole childhood, he was kept from experiencing life in the real world. He and his sister couldn't attend the summer neighborhood bash, have friends from the outside world, or even go to a real school. They were confined in their tiny, cottage home in the pleasant, yet private neighborhood of Mulberry Crescent only leaving for group meetings with their fellow followers.

When Marlowe ran away, he left behind his younger sister, Clancy, a naiveté, adult-child too suckled onto the cult's regnant way of life to see another world pounding on the other side of the door. After not seeing her brother for nearly half a decade, Clancy learns that he's fallen thirty feet to his death. It leaves her to wonder...why would her brother escape his life at the cult, start a life of his own with a beautiful fiance and pretty baby girl, just to kill himself over a cliff?

The rose petal glasses begin to slide from her nose as the partitions holding her constricted existence peel away. Did Marlowe end his life, or was he murdered? And how much longer until Clancy is next? Clancy isn't the only party that wants to know and who will soon discover the dark secrets crawling inside their walls.
