It's the summer of 1980 and dark secrets are surfacing at the Zion Crossroads Plantation Hotel, the once-grand ancestral estate of the Bowen family. Here, twin brothers, the last living descendants, live with their eccentric lodgers, each in their way still haunted by the past. When outsiders arrive, lured by the prophetic dreams and a legendary map to civil war treasure, tensions rise as well as questions about their father's death, turning Zion into the epicenter of a slow-burning Southern mystery. Told with biting wit, psychological nuance, and a richly atmospheric Southern Gothic flair, the novel explores themes of thwarted legacies, ideological extremism, and the longing to find meaning in a world built on lies.
