Fiction. When Lucien flees Haiti with his wife, Marie-Ange, and their three children to Queens, NY, he does so hoping for reinvention, wealth, and comfort. He buys a run-down house in a quickly changing community, and begins life anew.

But only after it has set itself aflame will frightened whispers reveal Lucien’s ultimate evil.
