In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three. A young girl who isn’t allowed outside. Not after last time… A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory. And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible. AN unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door…. What is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
