One rainy evening, an Amish family is on their way home in their horse-drawn carriage. The father drives the cart while his three children enjoy themselves in the back. Suddenly, a car with no lights comes crashing into them from a side road. What at first appears to be a tragic accident and routine case suddenly becomes personal when Police Chief Kate Burkholder discovers that the victims are the husband and children of her childhood friend, Mattie.
As Kate delves into the case, she is confronted with her own Amish background and her memories of Mattie; an unusually beautiful girl who has been a mishap from childhood. The investigation takes a serious turn when it turns out that nothing about the accident was accidental.
