Tourists rented cabins, swam, relaxed and enjoyed the files of surrounding forest in a peaceful and safe environment. Katherine lived there for years with her husband James, a poet, and their cat Barney. They ran the small resort during the hectic spring and summer months, then hunkered down and endured the often brutal and desolate winters in relative isolation.
Their lives were uncomplicated, happy and quiet – or so Katherine thought – until one summer morning when the dead body of a young boy is found floating in the lake.
