Jean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, to attend her twenty-year reunion at Stonecroft Academy, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is, however, something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim - the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end.
