The Williams women don't just keep secrets... They bury them. Just days before her eightieth birthday, Pearl Williams has the gall to up and die on everyone. Now her granddaughters must make plans for a proper send-off...all while their own lives unravel a little more each day. Tara, the pastor's wife, makes a series of decisions that could scatter his flock. Then there's June, who would do anything to have a baby of her own, even if her husband won't. Clementine, the youngest, is entangled in an affair with her professor, desperate to ignore who he really is. Finally, there's Stephanie, the sister-in-law-an outsider who knows all the family dirt. But Gran won't be the only one they'll put in a grave this weekend...because now someone has gone missing in the dark Appalachian woods. And if Gran has taught them anything, it's how to get rid of a good-for-nothin' man...
