Quinze ans plus tard, le voilà marié, avec deux enfants, dans un quartier cossu de Woodview, sous le radieux soleil de Floride. Il donne des cours de tennis aux résidents fortunés du country club, tandis que sa ravissante épouse est agent immobilier. C'est le couple idéal, et tout le monde les envie. Seulement voilà, sous des dehors respectables, ils ne sont pas exactement ce qu'ils ont l'air d'être.

Unsere Geschichte ist wie die von vielen anderen. Ich bin einer wunderbaren Frau begegnet. Wir haben Kinder bekommen und sind in die Vorstadt gezogen. Wir haben uns von unseren größten Träumen und unseren dunkelsten Abgründen erzählt. Und dann ist uns langweilig geworden. Wir sehen aus wie ein ganz normales Paar. Wir sind die netten Nachbarn, zu denen die Kinder zum Spielen kommen und die man gerne zum Essen einlädt. Aber wir haben ein Geheimnis, um unsere Ehe lebendig zu halten. Eine ganz besondere Vorliebe. Eine, die uns die Macht gibt, über Leben und Tod zu entscheiden.

Man würde nie erraten, dass Lottie Jones Leichen im Keller hat. Sie lebt schon seit Jahrzehnten in der Stadt. Sie wird älter. Sie liebt die einfachen Freuden wie den wöchentlichen Bingo-Abend in der Kirche und das Tratschen mit ihren Freundinnen über das Liebesleben ihrer Kinder. Aber als die investigative Journalistin Plum Dixon vor ihrer Haustür auftaucht und Fragen über Lotties Vergangenheit stellt, insbesondere über ihre Verbindung zu zahlreichen ungelösten Morden, nun, das kann Lottie wirklich gar nicht leiden.

Entre Wes et Ivy, c'est l'amour fou. Quand ça va bien, c'est vertigineux, on s'offre des fleurs, on discute jusqu'au petit matin et on se promet la fidélité éternelle. Quand ça va mal, c'est la descente aux enfers. On se venge, on détruit, on appelle la police. Il est une nuit dont Wes et Ivy ne parlent jamais, celle de leur pire dispute, celle où leur passion les a conduits trop loin. Et désormais, ils doivent mettre un terme au cercle vicieux de leurs empoignades et réconciliations et se serrer les coudes pour résister à l'étau d'une enquête policière redoutable qui se referme sur eux.
