Summary:
"A Southern gothic supernatural musical thriller of fraternal love, lust, jealousy, and revenge set in the tiny town of Lake Belle Reve, Mississippi ... [centering] on two sets of brothers: the ghosts of Jack and Andy, dead in an apparent murder/suicide, and their nephews, the living Frank and Drake, who seem headed toward the same downward spiral as their uncles"--Container.
