When eighteen-year-old Charity Michaels left her hometown of Whitstokes, Michigan, twenty years ago, she never intended to return. That changes when her childhood friend, Marissa Tyson, is charged with murdering her husband, the Reverend. James Tyson II. Now an attorney, Charity feels obligated to come to Marissas defense.
Charity resolves to prove Marissas innocence, especially since the body has never been found. She believes that Reverend James Tyson II, the eldest offspring of the Tyson dynasty and the heir of millions, simply abandoned his naive wife in pursuit of greener pastures. But without any tangible evidence, her supposition is like the windits stirring but invisible and therefore useless.
Never one to back down from a fight, Charity searches relentlessly and eventually stumbles upon some persuasive evidence. Unfortunately, before she can expose her findings to the authorities, she makes a thoughtless decision that leaves both her and her friend vulnerable. With only forty-eight hours remaining before the final hearing, Charity scrambles to recover from her costly mistake and save Marissa.
