You need to learn about the family curse."

After a rogue lightning bolt kills her estranged father, Gina Fade, a self-diagnosed screwup straight out of rehab, returns home to settle his estate in Kansas.

Already shaky and vulnerable, Gina guards against yet another fall from sobriety while navigating waves of grief for a man she hasn't seen since she was a little girl.

Once in the house, things turn weird fast.

Sliding through shadowy corners of her head are memories so dark she can't make out the details. Floors creak. Objects vanish and return. She hunts for Dad's important papers, feeling watched.

Hidden inside Dad's coffin is an old diary with missing pages.

She discovers a crate of liquor in Dad's pantry. Mom's voice sounds weird on the phone. Her nightmares feel real.

Then the other last living member of the Fade family tells her of the family curse: Lightning has stalked the Fades for a hundred years.

Now it's her turn, and instead of helping, her Dad's church aims to destroy what hides in the storm, even if it means Gina must die.
