For Iris, the dream of autonomy feels like a ghost story she is destined to never live. When she finally manages to slip away from the suffocating shadows of her ancestral home, she believes she has escaped the family trap. But the past is a persistent specter, and the secrets of the Cherry sisters refuse to stay buried.
