When a new math teacher at the high school attracts the attention of a "Dixie Darling" and her overprotective, deputy sheriff ex-boyfriend, old family secrets buried decades ago are threatened. The teacher's presence, with ties of his own to the past in Somerset, undermines the stability of the local social structure. He searches for answers solving a riddle left at his father's death bed. In the process of the teacher's search, the problems besetting the brewery are unlocked. With swift board action by the home plant, a crisis is resolved and life in Somerset can resume.

The teacher must look at his heart to determine where his future lies. Lansford delivers an intriguing novel that will keep you guessing until the final pages.
