After a 10-year prison sentence, Calliope “Cal” McTeer returns home to Orphelin Bay, where her brother Augie is dealing with a fisherman’s murder.
With Augie on the run from his crew, Cal returns to town, where Corey tells her the truth about what happened 10 years ago, which Rosa corroborates.
Adrielle grants Cal permission to stay at L’Attente. Augie grows desperate to find a new buyer who isn’t Gregori. The constables discover a corpse.
Bill’s revelation leaves Cal reeling. Lamar and Violca continue to spy on Adrielle, who wants a prophecy she can trust and more money — quickly.
