Swamp Rites

Summary

Old secrets - everyone has a secret - from the past. Everyone has a past - new jealousies and betrayals.  Four 30-something women who were childhood friends reunited by an old promise in the decayed little swamp town of their birth. It turns into a weekend filled with obsession, deception, untold secrets, love, hatred, and murder hidden behind a dark curtain of Spanish moss. In the distance, the moon is rising a virulent orange, sliced through with lines of red, as if leaking blood - vigilant, jealous guardian of voodoo rituals and the legends of werewolves.
