Holly Slade on avastanud oma tundmatu identiteedi. Arvatava isa pihtimus surivoodil paljastab, et Holly tegelik isa oli peaaegu kindlasti kurikuulus sarimõrtsukas, keda tuntakse nime all Jahimees ja kelle ema üles andis, et tütre elu päästa. Kuid Jahimeest ei tabatud kunagi ning Holly ema lihtsalt kadus. Soovides oma minevikku lähemalt uurida, jätab Holly kodu ja rantsho nägusa töödejuhataja Bud Tate'i, keda ta pelgab armastada, sest on ära hirmutatud teadmisest, et ta soontes võib voolata hälbelise mõrtsuka veri. Olles mures ja soovides tõde teada saada, läheb ta Jahimeest otsima ning loodab, et ema eksis. Kuid otsingud paljastavad kohutava tõe, mida mitte keegi ei suuda ette kujutada, ning isegi see, et Bud järgneb oma armastatud naisele, tahtes teda kaitsta, ei pruugi olla piisav Holly päästmiseks minevikus aset leidnud õuduste eest, mis kipuvad olevikku.

Savannah Slade pole see, kes arvas end olevat. "Isa" testamendi ettelugemine toob lagedale purustava paljastuse: ta õed polegi ta veresugulased ning ta võib olla hiiglasliku varanduse pärija. Judd, ta peatne kihlatu, ei hooli ta päritolust - ta tahab Savannah't lihtsalt enda kõrvale. Kuid vajadus minevik paljastada jääb peale ning Savannah vahetab Montana väljad Miami rikaste ookeaniäärsete enklaavide vastu. Jõukas ja mõjukas perekond Stoss on vähem kui vaimustatud, avastades, et Gerald Stossi tütar on minevikust välja ilmunud. Kuid nende klann laseb end harva... ebamugavustest häirida. Nad on alati osanud oma täiuslikust elust plekid eemaldada. Üks lisaks ei muuda midagi.
