After more than twen­ty-five years of absence, Paul Rivest returns to Melvile. He knows this lit­tle town pret­ty well, hav­ing spent all his sum­mer vaca­tions there as a child with his grand­moth­er. Feel­ing respon­si­ble for the death of his first love and his best friend in a fire that destroyed the region the sum­mer of his fif­teenth birth­day, his return to Melvile forces him to stir up the past. As Paul dis­cov­ers the real rea­sons for Ruth and Thomas’s death, his stay in Melvile turns into a night­mare because the town of Melvile is not done with him.
