Bath Crane è un avvocato trentatreenne, disincantato e con un debole per la cocaina, alle prese con la sua prima causa per omicidio: due ragazzine di 14 anni sono scomparse in una cittadina del nord del Canada. Il principale sospettato è Thomas Tripp, il loro professore d'inglese, il cliente di Barth. Tutto il paese è certo della sua colpevolezza, anche se non si sono ancora trovati i cadaveri. A Crane non importa sapere se il suo cliente è colpevole: gli basta tirarlo fuori dai guai. Ma ben presto l'atmosfera diventa inquietante: l'apparizione di una donna - la leggendaria e folle Signora del Lago - annegatasi decenni prima, le dicerie su un misterioso omicidio ancora più antico, l'incalzare di allucinazioni trasformano tutto in un incubo.
