          West Virginia, 1897. Young newlywed Zona Heaster Shue is found dead in her house, in what seems to have been a tragic accident. However, her mother, Mary Jane, is convinced Zona was murdered - and by none other than Zona''s husband, Trout, the handsome blacksmith beloved in their small Southern town.

          But when Trout is put on trial, no one believes he could have done it, apart from Mary Jane and Zona''s best friend Lucy, who was always suspicious of Trout. As the trial raises to fever pitch and the men of Greenbrier County stand aligned against them, Mary Jane and Lucy must decide whether to reveal Zona''s greatest secret in the service of justice. But it''s Zona herself, from beyond the grave, who still has one last revelation to make.
