When a bizarre houseboat explosion rocks the close-knit community of Baxter, firefighters, friends, and neighbors stand powerless as the Mc Connells' blazing hull sinks to the bottom of Heron Lake.
Grief turns to outrage as new evidence proves there was one survivor -- and points to murder, something this sheltered community has never faced in its hundred-year history.
In a race with the FBI, Jed sets out to track down the sole survivor, coping meanwhile with his own painful marital struggle.
Baxter's mystery and Jed's dilemma are ones only God can solve in this suspenseful, surprising story of redemption amidst despair in small-town America.
