Emily confronts the tragedy when she returns to her roots many years later to attend the funeral of a beloved nanny and finds herself the target of a stalker. As the saga of secrets, tragedy and discovery unfolds she enlists the help of Adelle Jones -- the family laundress and part-time voodoo practitioner -- in the search for blues musician Charlie Dixon, the nanny's missing son.
