When Rachel Burton's parents move their grief-stricken daughter back to their home in Toledo, Ohio, Rachel can barely get out of bed.
But when a house on the next block catches fire -- or so it seems by the billowing smoke escaping its windows -- Rachel is pulled out of bed and into a tale that's two decades old, a tale in which a woman burns her house to the ground with her family inside. A tale in which that house seems to catch fire every morning.
In an attempt to make sense of that which makes no sense, Rachel enters the burning house to decide for herself just what happened there twenty years ago, and in doing so unravels a mystery as deep as grief itself.
