As Stan and their teenage sons grapple with the diagnosis and frightening personality changes in their wife and mother, Austin Lamb, a close friend and local doctor, does everything possible to assist the family in crisis. 
Months later, Austin’s wife’s body is discovered at the bottom of Browns Bay cliffs by Eliot Bard.
