This is the story of four sisters, Amanda, Babe, Carleen and Ellie who are invited to their Uncle Ed's 75th birthday party at his estate. They all manage to show up, but are immediately at odds with each other. Some of the sisters blame their differences on Carleen, who accidently started a fire at their home when they were teens, burning down the house and killing their parents.
Each of them harbours a secret or two, which seems to drive a wedge between them. Even Ed has some secrets of his own. He compounds their discomfort by disappearing before the party starts and then he lets everyone guess if he is alive or dead. Almost everyone in the book takes a turn looking for him.
