In post-Civil War Georgia, Lavinia is a newly freed woman who meets Simone, a white woman who has recently become a vampire. They become friends and agree to head north together since neither has anything to keep them in the South. At first, it seems like a good idea to Lavinia, but she realizes that Simone is reckless and impulsive, and those are personality traits that interact poorly with her also being a vampire. As the bodies begin to pile up and catch the notice of the residents in the small Indiana town they’ve settled in, their friendship may be about to break.

And then, when one of the officials occupying the house is murdered by potentially supernatural means, they must dig into a past that only the dead are allowed to remember.

Then Sol finds a journal hidden in their house, left by a resident who disappeared, and she realizes just why they were able to get this house…
