While swimming in a creek on a hot Sunday in 1969, sixteen-year-old Eugene and his older brother, Bill, meet Ligeia. A rebellious teenager banished to their small North Carolina town, she entrances the two brothers, eventually luring them into a struggle that reveals the hidden differences in their natures. Eugene, falling under Ligeia's spell, grows further and further apart from his brother. When Ligeia vanishes as suddenly as she appeared, the growing rift between the two boys becomes immutable. Decades later, the once-close brothers now lead completely different lives. Bill is a gifted and successful surgeon, while Eugene is a failed writer and determined alcoholic. When a shocking reminder of the past unexpectedly surfaces, Eugene is forced to remember that fateful summer and the girl he cannot forget. The deeper he delves into his memories, the closer he comes to finding the truth. But can Eugene's recollections be trusted? And will the truth set him free and offer salvation, or destroy his damaged life and everyone he loves?
