Rachel Mast has returned to Stone Mill to manage a local Bed & Breakfast. She used to be Amish but decided not to get baptized and joined the so-called 'Englishers'. She is now in her early 30s and her mother hasn't spoken to her since she was a teenager. Her best friend is her cousin Mary Aaron who is Amish.

On a trip to the local swimming hole at the quarry with a few friends they discover the body of an Amish girl floating face down in the water. She is dead and the police are called. The local police officer Evan has a liking for Rachel but we're not sure whether it is returned or not.
