Ellen Dora has returned to her home town after a long absence. Her return is triggered only in part by the death of her mother; more important is that she must finally deliver a letter that she has had in her possession for over ten years. Walking through the town brings back childhood memories of her dead mother and aunt...and a specific event; the death of the town pastor ten years earlier. Jon's death sparked a chain of events that had far reaching consequences in Ellen’s life. At the time, there were questions that she never dared ask and much remained unanswered about his death; did he die or was he murdered? Ellen suspects that her mother and aunt may have had something to do with it. Her aunt (Rachel) mysteriously disappeared the day they found the pastor’s body; and was never seen again. Otto, a man secretly in love with Rachel, committed suicide shortly after by drowning himself in the river...something Ellen blames herself for. Her return forces her to relive that day and as she journeys deeper into the past it becomes evident that everything is not as it seems; are the people around her dead or alive; why does it never stop raining and why is she suddenly afraid of what the truth might mean?
