Such an offer cannot be rejected, so under the dirt layers find a picture that tells the story of a small city full of madness, violence and conspiracy. North Carolina, 1940: Anna Dale, an artist from New Jersey, won the national competition and has the honor of creating a mural for post office in Edenton. She is all alone in the world and longed for such work for a long time. She is surprised, however, when she finds herself at a place full of prejudice, where people hide mystery behind the closed door and where the difference can mean death. What happened to Anna Dale? Are there any traces in the faded mural? And if so, can Morgan recognize them despite his own demon?
