But memories raise questions about Paul's love for her, his fidelity, their live together. Most disturbing is why, on the day he died, his cell phone and clothing wre found discarded on a beach more than ten miles from their cottage in Crescent Bay.
Marie turns to her dear friend Fran Sweeney, but as more clues surface, she begins to wonder if Fran is truly someone she can trust.
