When her son meets Elinor Dammert - a compelling but ambiguous young woman with a troubling past - a power struggle ensues.But perhaps the biggest threat to the family lies in what they cannot see, what lies in the swamps beyond the boundaries of their fine mansion and the sawmills and lumberyards of the town.The first to disappear is a child. He won't be the last...
