Developer's description
The house is quiet. The husband is away for six months. The bills are due on the tenth, the kitchen sink has been dripping since March, and a light just came on in the old house at the end of the street. Helena has always been the one who holds everything together. But in a small town where everybody knows everybody’s business, someone always knows a little more than they should. How far would you go to keep it all together? And what are you willing to hide?
