Undertakers know a lot of things... Carrie Lisbon knows how to dress a body, what kinds of flowers to use in funerary tributes, and which embalming preparations are best. What she doesnt know is how to navigate the social strata of Hope Bridge, the small town she now calls home. Looking to escape the outdated and elaborate turn of the century mourning rituals that do nothing but fuel her anger about her husbands passing, Carrie moves to a village dominated by a rickety covered bridge, a social scene bent on keeping the status quo, and a sense of lawlessness that undermines her frail equilibrium. When shes called to lay out the body of a young woman, Carrie discovers brutal injuries that contradict the husbands story about his wifes death. Instead of being accepted as a professional, and as someone who knows what shes talking about, shes rebuffed by the towns undertaker, dismissed by the sheriff, and pursued by the dead womans husband. Desperate to clear a friend of murder, Carrie finds few leads, but uncovers Hope Bridges sadistic family secrets. Thwarted by ambiguity and indifference, she struggles with a dubious telephone system, her newcomer status, and multiple town intrigues in order to gain her place and catch a killer.
