Stephen Drew is a popular small town minister who's shocked to learn that two of his most beloved parishioners, the Haywards, died in a murder-suicide. As the residents of the Havermill, Vermont begin to think about the perfect couple they thought they knew, the secret and dark lives of Annie and George Hayward come to light and local authorities announce that the crime may actually be a double-murder, not the murder-suicide they originally suspected. Suspicion shifts from one person to another, but when evidence of an affair between the dead wife and Reverend Drew surfaces, the handsome minister emerges as the prime suspect. Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Chris Bohjalian.
