Fleeting peace descends on the Deschanels in New Orleans. Loved ones have returned. A calm appears in the chaos.

Life is—seemingly—back to normal.

Those who had been away re-establish old routines. They trade intrigue for dinner parties. Survival skills for day jobs.

Settling into a quiet life comes with a sense of long-awaited relief, one they desperately want to embrace. To sit in silence in their gardens at twilight and dream of a future where their loved ones are happy, healthy, and safe.

Yet under the surface lurks the shadows of their past and the dark promises of tomorrow.

A reckoning awaits, and this time, there’s nothing left to do but meet it head on.
