Bended Twigs

A forty year old missing person case becomes a forty year old murder case when the owners of a quiet suburban home dig up the backyard for a swimming pool and discover a skull buried shallowly beneath a decorative stand of birch trees. The revelation forces three generations of the Cleary family to reunite, three generations of a family that time and circumstance has driven apart. In the coming days two more of them will die, and the rest will discover that knowing the truth is not always as satisfactory as living the fantasy.
