St Medard's Bay, Alabama is famous for three things: the deadly hurricanes that regularly sweep into town, the century-old Rosalie Inn that has survived every one, and Lo Bailey, the local girl accused of murdering her lover in 1984.

When hotel owner Geneva hears a true crime writer is in town to research the Landon Fitzroy case, she's less interested in solving a whodunnit than the business it could bring the Rosalie Inn. But August Fletcher doesn't come alone: with him is none other than Lo Bailey herself, returned to her hometown to clear her name once and for all.

But the closer Geneva gets to Lo and August, the more she wonders if Lo is actually back to settle old scores. As another monster storm approaches, she learns that people can be just as destructive as any hurricane - and that the truth about what happened to Landon is not the only secret Lo is keeping...
