Noelle is the daughter of Roger, a college professor and candidate for public office with adulterous tendencies, and Irene, once a very promising bright young woman, and still beautiful, but clearly broken by years of a domestic life with a cheating husband. — She becomes obsessed with her uncle, Danny Farrell, who has always been a black sheep of sorts in the family. Danny is believed to have died in an airplane flying over china while working for the CIA. Roger`s mother, Brigid, is a powerful widow with a lot of dirty secrets. The family is an example of an Irish Catholic family`s ascent into the upper middle class, perhaps even the upper class, after a few generations, reflecting a common theme of sociologist Greeley. However, aside from Danny, there have been other mysterious deaths in this family, and Noelle courageously probes this dark side of her ancestry, leading to the truth about who she really is.

Noel je ćerka Rodžera, profesora na fakultetu i kandidata za javnu funkciju sa preljubničkim sklonostima, i Iren, nekada veoma perspektivne bistre mlade žene, i dalje lepe, ali očigledno slomljene godinama porodičnog života. Postaje opsednuta svojim ujakom, Denijem Farelom, koji je oduvek bio neka vrsta crne ovce u porodici. Veruje se da je Deni poginuo u avionu koji je leteo iznad Kine dok je radio za CIA. Rodžerova majka, Brigid, moćna je udovica sa mnogo prljavih tajni. Porodica je primer uspona jedne irske katoličke porodice u višu srednju klasu, možda čak i u višu klasu, nakon nekoliko generacija, odražavajući zajedničku temu sociologa Grilija. Međutim, osim Denija, bilo je i drugih misterioznih smrti u ovoj porodici, a Noel hrabro istražuje ovu mračnu stranu svog porekla, dovodeći do istine o tome ko je ona zaista.
