When Leahs daughter, Nyla, unexpectedly appears at her cabin in the Appalachian Mountains, its a dream come true. For five years, Leah hasnt seen or heard from her daughterever since Nyla stormed out of the house, determined to go live with her idealized father. Now shes back. But theres something different about Nyla. Something...off. And its deeper than her unsettling appearance. As Leah struggles to reconnect with Nyla, she has more questions than answers. Where has she been? What happened to her? And more importantly, what is she hiding? Ever since her parents divorce, Nyla longed to live with her charismatic father, Paul, whos the opposite of her frivolous and overbearing mother. So, at eighteen, after yet another argument with her mom, Nyla relocates to her dads place in rural Tennessee. She immediately falls in love with the slightly run-down, self-sustaining farmhouse that her father shares with a mixed collective of likeminded individuals. Secluded from society and self-contained, its the simple life shes always wanted. Before long, shes encompassed in the family, where everything is shared and everyone does their part. Its perfect. Until Paul begins to govern with an ever-expanding list of rules . . . and punishments.
