In 1950s West Virginia, seventeen-year-old Lark and her younger half-brother Termite, who is unable to walk or talk, are being raised by their Aunt Nonie. Their mother Lola is absent, Termite's father is still caught up in the chaos of the Korean War, and Lark doesn't even know who her father is.

One night, a flood roars through town. Amid the debris and destruction, the truths of Lark's personal history begin to surface. And as the mysteries of the past come to light, the lives of Lark and Termite will be changed forever.
